What you need
To make these mouthwatering bowls, you'll need:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
- 3 tablespoons Kinders Carne Asada seasoning (or taco seasoning)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 ripe avocados, chopped
- Cilantro
- Black pepper
- Pickled red onions
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
How to make it
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and smoked paprika, then roast in the oven or air fry until tender and crispy, about 25-35 minutes.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Add the Carne Asada seasoning and water, and simmer until cooked through.
For the street corn, blend 1 cup of cottage cheese until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of Mexican crema (or mayonnaise), 2 cups of fire-roasted corn, lime zest and juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Fold until well combined.
To assemble the bowls, place a scoop of the creamy street corn in the center of a bowl. Top with 1/4 of the ground beef, 1/4 of the roasted sweet potatoes, 1/2 avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro, pickled red onions, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
