Instructions
 

Roast Sweet Potatoes

Assemble Bowls

  • Divide cooked rice or quinoa between two bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned black beans. Garnish with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro.

For meal prep, you can roast the sweet potatoes and prepare the black bean mixture ahead of time. Store components separately and assemble bowls when ready to eat. Feel free to customize with your favorite taco toppings like corn, bell peppers, or a dollop of guacamole.
