Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning use your favorite store-bought or homemade
For the Bowls
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn frozen, canned, or fresh
For the Cilantro-Lime Drizzle & Toppings
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1-2 tbsp water to thin
  • 1 avocado sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and taco seasoning until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
  2. While the potatoes roast, cook the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water (or broth) to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and 1-2 tablespoons of water until you reach a drizzling consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn. Garnish with avocado slices, diced red onion, and a generous amount of the cilantro-lime drizzle. Serve immediately.

Notes

Meal Prep Tip: Store cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and the black bean/corn mixture in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days. Keep the drizzle and fresh toppings like avocado separate until ready to serve.
Customize It: Feel free to add other toppings like shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, crumbled cotija cheese, or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
