Serves: *4
*Prep time: 40 min
Ingredients
1 can (15.5 oz) unsalted black beans
1 C cooked grains (Rice, quinoa, etc)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 C cooked corn (I like fire roasted)
1 avocado, sliced
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Mexican chili powder (can sub for regular chili powder)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Burrito Bowl Dressing Ingredients
1/2 C tahini
1/4 C of water
1-2 Tbsp mild or hot sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Juice from 1/2 lime or lemon
Pico de Gallo salsa for garnish (optional)
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 ° F.
In a medium mixing bowl, add sweet potato chunks, onions, and bell peppers.
Toss with paprika, garlic, salt, and 1/2 Tbsp olive oil.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out sweet potato, onions, and bell peppers so vegetables bake evenly.
Drizzle the remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil on the onion and bell pepper.
Bake for 25-30 min or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
During the final 5 min of baking…
Drain canned black beans but do not rinse.
Place beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, and add 1 tsp chili powder and salt to taste. Cook beans until hot.
Remove the vegetables from the oven when the sweet potatoes are tender.
Assembly…
Assemble your bowls by first creating a bed of rice.
Top with roasted veggies, black beans, corn, and avocado slices.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk all of the salad dressing ingredients, and drizzle on top of the bowls.
