- 2 Tbsp neutral oil (for air frying / roasting)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- sea salt & black pepper (to taste)
For the Taco-Spiced Beef

For the Bowl Assembly
- 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat for creamiest)
- 2 avocados, cubed or sliced

Instructions
- Air fry sweet potatoes: Toss cubes with oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if using). Air fry at 200°C/400°F for 10–15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp outside, tender inside. Do not overcrowd for best crisp.
- Cook taco-spiced beef: In a large skillet over medium-high, brown ground beef, breaking into crumbles. Stir in tomato paste and taco seasoning; cook until fully browned and seasoned. Set aside.
- Assemble bowls: Divide crispy sweet potatoes and taco beef among 4 bowls.
- Finish & drizzle: Top each with about 1/2 cup cottage cheese and avocado. Drizzle generously with hot honey and serve immediately.
