Ingredients
Street Corn Dip
- 1 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 2 heaping tablespoons mayo
- 2 heaping cups frozen fire-roasted corn, thawed and patted dry
- Half of a large jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- Juice and zest from half of a lime
- 1/2 teaspoon Tajín (optional garnish)
- 1 avocado, cut into chunks (optional)
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Ground Beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (such as Siete mild taco seasoning)
- 2-3 tablespoons water (to create a bit of sauce)
To Serve
- Chips for serving
- Pickled red onions for serving
Instructions
- Make Street Corn Dip: Combine all street corn dip ingredients except the blended cottage cheese. Stir well, then fold in the blended cottage cheese last to control the dip’s creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss the peeled, cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt. Air fry the sweet potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for 13 minutes until tender and lightly golden. Alternatively, roast them on a sheet pan in a 400°F (204°C) oven for 25 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef in chunks and let it brown undisturbed for a few minutes. Then crumble the beef into small pieces and cook through. Add 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons water, stirring to create a slightly saucy consistency. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Assemble and Serve: Plate the roasted sweet potatoes and spiced ground beef in bowls. Top generously with the street corn dip, sprinkle with pickled red onions if desired, and serve alongside chips for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute roasting for air frying the sweet potatoes depending on your equipment.
- The avocado is optional but adds creaminess and richness to the bowls.
- Tajín is optional but adds a nice chili-lime flavor as a garnish.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to taste, depending on your preferred spice level.
- Pickled red onions add a tangy contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
