Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1 inch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • For the Dressing: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vegan sour cream), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon water, pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the potatoes roast, prepare the cilantro lime dressing. Combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add more water if you need a thinner consistency.
  5. Assemble your taco bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa or rice among four bowls.
  6. Top the base evenly with the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, and red onion.
  7. Add sliced avocado to each bowl.
  8. Drizzle generously with the cilantro lime dressing before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute the Greek yogurt in the dressing with vegan sour cream or a cashew-based cream.
  • Prepare the quinoa and chop the vegetables ahead of time to make this a quick lunch bowl assembly.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sweet potato seasoning mix.
