Start by preparing the sweet potatoes. Use two medium sweet potatoes or one large one. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine the sweet potatoes with avocado oil and seasonings: black pepper, kosher salt, chili powder, paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cumin, and oregano. Mix well to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer and cook for about 12 minutes, tossing them halfway through for even cooking.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the ground beef. Use 85% lean ground beef that has been defrosted overnight.

In a hot cast iron skillet, add the ground beef and break it apart with a potato masher to ensure it browns evenly.

Season the beef with taco seasoning, using half the amount initially, and allow it to brown while mixing in the seasoning.

Once the beef is browned, add water and the remaining seasonings to enhance the flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Once the beef is cooked through, prepare to plate the dish. Ensure the sweet potatoes are done and crispy.

Plate the dish by adding the roasted sweet potatoes, ground beef, and diced avocado. Top the cottage cheese with Mike's hot honey.

Taste the dish and consider mixing the cottage cheese with avocado and lime juice for a crema. Enjoy the hot honey beef bowl.
