Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl

Skip the lineup at Chipotle & whip up this super delish vegetarian burrito bowl in under 30 minutes.

This burrito bowl encompasses 2 of my favourite things: No. 1 Mexican flavours & No. 2 dinner on the table in under 30 minutes & doesn't scrimp on flavour!

If you hate cilantro, instead of the avocado crema just smash up some guac for your sauce!

You'll notice that not all the ingredients listed have specific measurements, in these cases you can use your discretion and alter to your own taste! I encourage you to do this with most recipes, (unless it's baked goods, I don't recommend messing with science! haha) let your inner chef sing!

Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl

Makes 1 bowl

What you'll need:

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

1 small sweet potato, peeled & cut into 1 inch cubes

Drizzle of olive oil

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

salt & pepper to taste

Avocado Crema

1/2 avocado

1/4 cup greek yogurt or sour cream

Juice of 1 lime

Couple handfuls of cilantro

Good pinch of salt

Water to thin if necessary

Bowl Additions

Cooked cauliflower rice or regular rice

Salsa

Cheese

Greens of choice (I used spinach)

Sauteed peppers & onion

Scallions

Cooked black or pinto beans, for extra protein (I didn't have any on hand)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400F

Cube 1 small sweet potato into 1 1/2 inch pieces and scatter the cubes onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle the sweet potato with olive oil & season with 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder and salt & pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes.

While the sweet potato is roasting make the avocado crema by blending 1/2 an avocado, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, juice of 1 lime, couple handfuls of cilantro and a good pinch of salt in a small blender or food processor (I used the smoothie cup & blade from my Ninja Blender). If it's too thick you can add a little bit of water to thin it out.

Now all that's left is to build your bowl! Use rice or cauliflower rice as your base, top with roasted sweet potatoes, other additions of your choosing & finish it off with the avocado crema!

Enjoy, my friends!
