Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 2 heaping tablespoons mayo
  • 2 heaping cups frozen fire-roasted corn, thawed and patted dry
  • 1/2 large jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • Juice and zest of half a lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tajín (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sweet potatoes)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (for sweet potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for ground beef)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2–3 tablespoons taco seasoning (such as Siete mild taco seasoning)
  • Optional: tortilla chips for serving
  • Pickled red onions for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20‑25 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the high-protein street corn dip: blend cottage cheese and mayo until smooth, then stir in fire-roasted corn, minced jalapeño, cilantro, Cotija cheese, lime juice and zest, and Tajín if using. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6‑8 minutes.
  4. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly. Divide cooked sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and street‑corn dip into bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with optional tortilla chips and a generous spoonful of pickled red onions. Garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of lime if desired.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful, high-protein street‑corn beef and sweet potato bowl!

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace ground beef with crumbled tempeh or lentils. If you prefer a milder flavor, omit the jalapeño ribs or reduce Tajín. Store the dip separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat the sweet potatoes and beef gently before serving.
