How to Make the Hot Honey Beef Bowl

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it is completely done in under 30 minutes. Here is how I throw it together:

First, I get the sweet potatoes cooking in the air fryer. While those are frying, I start browning the ground beef in a skillet. To give the meat an extra kick that makes this bowl so delicious, I like to throw in a little bit of taco seasoning and some tomato paste.

As the meat and sweet potatoes are cooking, I chop up my avocado. Once everything is done, it is time to assemble!

Just put your cooked sweet potatoes and seasoned ground beef into a bowl. Add your chopped avocado, and then scoop on as much cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt) as you like. Finally, give the whole bowl a generous drizzle of hot honey.

That is it! You are good to go with a fast, delicious meal that is packed with protein and perfect for fueling your body.
