Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon homemade taco seasoning (or store-bought)
Beef Mince
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 30 grams homemade taco seasoning (or 1 store-bought packet)
- 500 grams lean beef mince/ground beef
- splash of water
Toppings
- 2 cups dairy free cottage cheese
- 1 avocado, peeled and diced
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes and peel if preferred. Cut them into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes for even cooking.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning until they are evenly coated.
- Air Fry Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even roasting and prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef Mince: While the sweet potatoes cook, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to break it apart. Cook until browned thoroughly.
- Season Beef: Add the remaining taco seasoning and a splash of water to the browned mince. Continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and any excess liquid has evaporated, intensifying the flavors.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among four bowls or meal prep containers. Top each with the cooked beef mince.
- Add Toppings: If serving immediately, top each bowl with diced avocado, a scoop of dairy-free cottage cheese, and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot honey to your taste preference for a sweet and spicy finish.
Notes
- You can peel the sweet potatoes if you prefer a smoother texture, but leaving the skins on adds extra nutrients and fiber.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the spice and sweetness level of the dish.
- Homemade taco seasoning can be customized with your favorite spices to tweak the flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days and reheated gently to maintain texture.
