Prepare Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add lean ground beef and taco seasoning. Break meat apart as it cooks and continue cooking on medium heat for about 7-10 minutes or until completely cooked through (no pink). -

Add ¼ of the ground beef, ¼ of sweet potatoes, ½ cup of cottage cheese, ¼ – ½ avocado slices, and cilantro. Drizzle with hot honey and red pepper flakes to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and jalapeño slices (fresh or pickled) if desired.
