Instructions

  • Combine the honey and chili flakes in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15-20 seconds to boil the honey, then set aside to cool and allow the chili to infuse into the honey for 10-15 minutes.
  • Strain the flakes from the honey using a fine sieve strainer. Add the apple cider vinegar and stir to combine. Adjust for taste by adding more honey if needed.
  • Peel and dice the sweet potato. Sprinkle with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Roast them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes until tender. You can also cook them in an air fryer at 425°F for 10 minutes until golden brown - toss them half way so that they cook evenly.
  • On medium-high heat in a large skillet, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks with a wooden spoon. Add taco seasoning and stir, then set aside.
  • Now assemble your sweet potato taco bowls. Add cooked sweet potatoes, taco-seasoned beef, creamy avocado and cottage cheese.
  • Top with spicy hot honey for extra flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
When meal prepping, add cottage cheese and avocado just before serving for the best flavour.
