Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
- 3 Tablespoons mild taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- Avocado oil spray
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Street Corn Salsa
- 2 cups cooked corn
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (blended) or Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons cotija cheese
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 2–3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1 teaspoon Tajín (optional)
- Hot honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, lightly spray with avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with avocado oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the beef is well coated and slightly saucy. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Street Corn Salsa: In a bowl, gently combine the cooked corn, blended low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, avocado oil mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice and zest, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, cubed avocado, and Tajín (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and taco-seasoned ground beef evenly between serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous spoonful of the street corn salsa.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle each bowl with hot honey for a sweet and spicy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful and hearty Street Corn Sweet Potato Beef Bowl.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with seasoned plant-based ground meat or black beans.
- Blending the low-fat cottage cheese creates a creamy texture similar to sour cream; Greek yogurt can be used as an alternative.
- Tajín and jalapeño are optional but add a nice spicy kick to the street corn salsa.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to control sweetness and heat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
