Ingredients

Taco Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning (one packet)
  • 1/2 cup water

Brown Rice

  • 1 1/2 Cups Brown Rice dry
  • 3 1/2 Cups water

Toppings

  • 8 cups Mixed Greens
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (2 cups, cubed)
  • 2 large avocados diced
  • 2 cups tomatoes chopped
  • 24 oz Cottage Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Tajin Seasoning
  • 8 teaspoons honey

Instructions

Brown Rice

  • Add rice and water to a large pot. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes until tender and chewy.

Taco Meat

  • In a large saucepan or skillet, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess grease. Add the seasoning packet with 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Toppings

  • Wash the outer skin of the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork 3-4 times. Microwave for 2 minutes, turn the potatoes and repeat until the potatoes are soft. Peel away the skin and dice into cubes.
  • Cut the tomatoes and avocados into cubes.
  • Serve each item, buffet-style, in a separate bowl.

Notes

Add a little more protein and fiber with kidney or black beans.
