Ingredients

2 sweet potato, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (93/7)
2 tbsp taco seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups cooked white rice
1 cup cottage cheese
2 avocado, sliced
1 cup corn kernels
1/4 cup hot honey
2 lime, cut into wedges
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425F. Toss 2 diced sweet potato with half the 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of 1/2 tsp salt on a sheet pan and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
2

Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (93/7) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and no longer pink, reaching an internal temperature of 160F.
3

Stir in 2 tbsp taco seasoning, 2 cloves minced garlic, and the remaining salt. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant, then remove from the heat.
4

Divide 3 cups cooked white rice among bowls as the base.
5

Top each bowl with the taco-spiced beef, roasted sweet potato, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 sliced avocado, and 1 cup corn kernels.
6

Drizzle generously with 1/4 cup hot honey, squeeze a wedge of 2 cut into wedges lime over each bowl, and finish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.

Questions

Can I make Hot Honey Beef Bowl dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup cottage cheese. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Hot Honey Beef Bowl keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Hot Honey Beef Bowl?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
