Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).
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.
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.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato, cooked beef, corn, diced avocado, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy a hearty, cheat‑meal‑style dish packed with protein and flavor.
