1 teaspoon olive oil
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

Notes
Swap sweet potato with butternut squash or regular potatoes.
Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
Add extra vegetables like spinach, kale, or zucchini for more nutrition.
Full-fat cottage cheese makes the bowl creamier.
Assemble just before serving for best flavor and freshness.
