  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans drained and rinsed

  • Pinch of salt and ground black pepper (1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into bite-sized chunks. Slice the bell peppers and set aside.
  • Toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, and chipotle chili powder.
  • Place the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add in the sliced peppers and toss around with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Return to the oven and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are crisp tender and the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove and toss on the tray with the rinsed and dried black beans.
  • Allow these roasted veggies to cool down to just above room temperature.
  • While everything is cooking, in a small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (mayo, lime juice and zest, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, and Sriracha) and whisk together until completely combined.
  • Prep the toppings: chop cilantro, slice an avocado, slice a jalapeno, and slice a lime.
  • Make the bowls: fill a bowl with cooked and cooled rice, top with cooled veggies and beans, and add toppings and dressing.
  • Enjoy immediately.

Notes

*Chipotle chili powder is just a variety of chili powder with all the other seasonings. Regular chili powder will work fine.
