Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

  2. 2

    Spread the cubed sweet potato on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with your chosen spices. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sweet potato is tender inside and browned at the edges.

  3. 3

    While the sweet potato roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the seasoned ground beef until browned and cooked through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The beef has browned in the skillet and no longer looks raw.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato, cooked beef, corn, diced avocado, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Add the cottage cheese and mayonnaise to the bowl, then stir everything together until well mixed. The mixture will form a creamy, protein‑rich sauce that can be eaten on its own or spooned over the bowl.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cottage cheese and mayonnaise coat the bowl ingredients in a creamy dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately and enjoy a hearty, cheat‑meal‑style dish packed with protein and flavor.
