Street Corn Salsa
- 2 cups cooked corn
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (blended or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons cotija cheese
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 2–3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1 teaspoon Tajín (optional)
Finishing

Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, lightly spray them with avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with avocado oil. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the beef is well coated and develops a slightly saucy texture. Remove from heat.
- Make Street Corn Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn, blended low-fat cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), avocado oil mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice and zest, finely diced jalapeño if using, chopped cilantro, cubed avocado, and Tajín seasoning if desired. Stir gently to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned ground beef evenly between serving bowls. Top each with a generous scoop of the street corn salsa.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle hot honey over the assembled bowls for a sweet and spicy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful street corn sweet potato beef bowl!
Notes
- For a creamier texture in the street corn salsa, blend the cottage cheese until smooth before combining.
- Jalapeño and Tajín are optional but add a nice kick and authentic flavor.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to suit your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
- Use a cooking spray or avocado oil for healthier fat options.
- This recipe is easily customizable with other veggies or proteins if desired.
