Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or quinoa)

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

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

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage or romaine

  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed

  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp adobo sauce

  • Juice of 1 lime (plus wedges for serving)

  • Chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potatoes with oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • While potatoes roast, cook rice and set aside.

  • Warm black beans in a pan with a splash of water and a pinch of cumin. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.

  • In a bowl, mix sour cream, lime juice, adobo sauce, and a pinch of salt to make chipotle crema.

  • Assemble bowls with rice, sweet potatoes, beans, corn, cabbage, avocado, and drizzle with crema. Top with cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For vegan: use plant-based yogurt or cashew crema.

  • Great for meal prep — store components separately and assemble when ready.

  • Add grilled protein or hot sauce for variation.
