Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1/2 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer.

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Warm the Beans and Corn: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the black beans and corn. Stir and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Quinoa or Rice: If not already cooked, follow package instructions to prepare the quinoa or brown rice.

Assemble the Burrito Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice into bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, warmed black beans and corn mixture, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and a generous sprinkle of cilantro.

Add Flavor: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and add salsa on top. For a creamier finish, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burrito bowls immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
