Description
A sweet and savory street corn sweet potato beef bowl with taco-seasoned beef, caramelized sweet potatoes, and a creamy corn topping.
Ingredients
- Beef
- 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons mild taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- Avocado oil spray
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Street Corn Salad
- 2 cups cooked corn
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended, or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons cotija cheese
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1 teaspoon TajÃn (optional)
- For Serving
- Hot honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the cubed sweet potatoes to a baking sheet, spray lightly with avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with avocado oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and slightly saucy. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked corn, blended cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice and zest, jalapeño if using, cilantro, avocado, and TajÃn. Stir gently until combined and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and taco beef between bowls.
- Top each bowl with the street corn salad and finish with a drizzle of hot honey before serving.
Notes
- Store the sweet potatoes, taco beef, and street corn topping in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For the best texture, add the avocado just before serving.
- Reheat the sweet potatoes and beef in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, then top with the chilled street corn mixture.
- For a lighter version, use extra-lean ground beef, ground turkey, or chicken, reduce the cotija, or skip the avocado.
