HOW TO MAKE THESE VIRAL BEEF BOWLS

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (200°C).

In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.

Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and fully cooked (about 8–10 minutes).

Drain excess grease if necessary, then mix in the Siete taco seasoning according to packet instructions.

Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned beef among four bowls.

Top each with 2 tbsp cottage cheese and ¼ of the diced avocado.

Drizzle lightly with honey for a touch of sweetness.

Serve & Enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Yes! Ground turkey or chicken are great leaner options and still pair well with the taco seasoning and sweet potatoes.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Absolutely. These beef bowls store well in the fridge for up to 4 days in airtight containers. Just wait to add the avocado and honey until right before serving for the freshest flavor.

Can I roast the sweet potatoes in an air fryer?

Totally! Toss them in the seasoning and cook them at 400°F in the air fryer for about 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. You can skip the cottage cheese or use a dairy-free alternative like plain vegan yogurt.
