Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef:

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (or a mix of honey and chili flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembling the Bowls:

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled fresh cheese (queso fresco or feta)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Hot sauce or extra hot honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated. Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and crisp on the outside.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Flavor the Beef: Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of hot honey and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring until fragrant and sauce thickens.
  4. Fry the Eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference, which takes only a few minutes.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with the seasoned ground beef, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, and a fried egg.
  6. Add the Finishing Touches: Sprinkle crumbled fresh cheese over the bowls. Drizzle with extra hot honey or hot sauce for more heat, and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
  7. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors for a comforting and visually appealing meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef for a lighter option.
  • To make the dish spicier, add extra chili powder, crushed red pepper flakes, or finely diced jalapeños.
  • Store cooked ground beef and roasted sweet potatoes separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat beef and sweet potatoes before assembling bowls.
  • Additional toppings such as sliced radishes, pickled onions, sautéed greens, black beans, or corn can be added for extra flavor and texture.
  • If hot honey is unavailable, mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes as a substitute.
  • Use queso fresco or feta for fresh cheese or substitute with vegan cream cheese if dairy-free is needed.
