🌮 Sweet Potato Taco Bowl
Description
Roasted sweet potatoes bring a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with bold, savory flavors, and this bowl pulls it all together in a simple, satisfying way. With warm spices, hearty black beans, sweet corn, and creamy avocado, every bite has a balance of texture and flavor. It’s an easy, flexible meal that works just as well for a quick weeknight dinner as it does for prepping ahead or serving casually.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.
-
2. Add the diced sweet potatoes to a bowl and toss with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender inside and lightly crisp on the edges.
-
4. In a separate bowl, combine the black beans and corn. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, then mix well.
-
5. Once the sweet potatoes are done, divide them into serving bowls. Spoon the bean and corn mixture over the top.
-
6. Finish with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side. Serve with tortilla chips if you’d like added crunch.

Storage
