Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 recommended)

Notes

  • Ground turkey or chicken can replace the beef for a lighter version.
  • Greek yogurt works well as a substitute for cottage cheese.
  • Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
  • Air fry the sweet potatoes at 400°F for about 15 minutes if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free taco seasoning if needed.
  • Store ingredients separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Add avocado and cottage cheese fresh after reheating for best texture.
  • The beef and sweet potatoes freeze well for up to 2 months.
