Description

A nutritious and delicious burrito bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a variety of fresh toppings.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
  5. In a medium pot, heat the corn kernels over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove from the oven and set aside.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa, black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, and corn evenly between bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  9. If desired, add a dollop of Greek yogurt and drizzle with hot sauce for extra flavor.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, skip the Greek yogurt or substitute with a dairy-free option.
  • Feel free to customize with other toppings like shredded cheese, salsa, or lettuce.
  • This bowl can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days for meal prep.
