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, can be used as garnish)
- 1 avocado, cut into chunks (optional)
Roasted 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 (recommend Siete mild taco seasoning)
- 2-3 tablespoons water
To Serve
- Chips for serving
- Pickled red onions for serving
Instructions
- Make Street Corn Dip: Combine all ingredients for the street corn dip except for the blended cottage cheese in a bowl. Add the blended cottage cheese last, slowly mixing it in until you reach your desired creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. This dip can be enjoyed while preparing the rest of the meal.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt until evenly coated. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 13 minutes, or until tender and lightly golden. Alternatively, roast on a sheet pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef in chunks and let it brown undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a crust. Crumble the beef into smaller pieces with a spatula. Stir in taco seasoning along with 2-3 tablespoons of water to create a saucy consistency. Cook until heated through and well combined.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide roasted sweet potatoes and cooked ground beef into serving bowls. Top generously with the street corn dip. Garnish with pickled red onions and serve with chips on the side. Optional: add avocado chunks and a sprinkle of Tajín for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Frozen fire-roasted corn adds a smoky depth, but fresh corn can be substituted when in season.
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeño depending on your preferred spice level.
- Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or a plant-based alternative for variation.
- The air fryer method for sweet potatoes is quicker, but roasting in the oven produces a nice caramelization.
- If you don’t have Cotija cheese, feta can be used as a substitute.
- Pickled red onions add a bright, tangy contrast but are optional.
