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
- ½ large jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- Juice and zest from half a lime
- 1 avocado, cut into chunks (optional)
- ½ teaspoon Tajín (optional, for garnish)
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ 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 Serve
- Chips for serving
- Pickled red onions for serving
Instructions
- Make Street Corn Dip: Combine thawed fire-roasted corn, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, crumbled Cotija cheese, lime juice and zest, mayo, and blended cottage cheese. Add the cottage cheese gradually to control creaminess. Mix well and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 13 minutes until tender and lightly golden. Alternatively, roast in an oven at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes on a baking sheet.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef in chunks and sear without stirring to develop browning. Then crumble the meat into smaller pieces. Add taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water to create a slightly saucy texture. Stir and cook until fully combined and heated through.
- Assemble Bowls: Plate the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned ground beef in bowls. Top generously with the street corn dip. Add optional avocado chunks, a sprinkle of Tajín if using, and pickled red onions on the side. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese until smooth creates a creamy texture for the dip without extra fat.
- Removing seeds from jalapeño reduces heat; adjust according to your spice tolerance.
- You can roast sweet potatoes in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer, but air frying is quicker.
- The taco seasoning and water add flavor and moisture to the beef, making it juicy and saucy.
- This dish is great for meal prep; store components separately and combine before serving.
