My husband and father both declared this recipe a keeper! The flavors combine for incredible flavor. I baked burrito size flour tortillas in the oven, keeping them flat; then served the layered ingredients on the flour tortillas.
Thank you for a recipe that makes me look so talented!!!

This is one of my all time favorites. I have made this so many times but forget to comment because I usually jump right in to eating it. I don’t change anything, it’s delicious exactly as the recipe is written and easy to reheat the next day. Thank you so much for this wonderful dish! And others!!!

I love this recipe and have made it for years now. It’s a family favourite. We do make a couple of tweaks, though: use raw bell peppers (saves work and adds a nice fresh factor) and we always used full fat Greek yogurt to replace the mayo and we loved it. Since becoming plant-based, though, I easily have switched to mixing vegan mayo with plain oat yogurt. Tastes great still!! Thank you for this great recipe. 🙂

Loved the taste of this recipe, but next time I make it I’d add some other veggies, probably some greens like broccoli. I’ll definitely make it again though.

It says in the nutrition that this meal is 727 kcals… is that per serving or for all 4 servings?

This was delicious! Thank you for the recipe. Normally I make all sorts of adjustments to recipes, but I wouldn’t change anything about this one. Sweet potatoes turned out perfectly, and the seasoning was delish. Yum!

This veggie filling is BOMB in baked taco shells! Added an onion to the veg and a little adobo sauce to the sauce and couldn’t be happier – warm, smoky, fresh, spicy, mmmmm. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was so yummy! I used smoked paprika and regular chile powder since we only had that on hand. I also squeezed two limes and added sour cream to the sauce for more zing. This was delicious! Thank you!

Thank you for a great recipe! This was absolutely delicious. The dressing is fantastic. It really makes the dish.

I made a few modifications, and it came out great. Like other commenters, I reduced the amount of mayo called for in the dressing. (I used Paleo, avocado oil mayo because that’s what I had, and that worked well.) I also used a few dashes of hot sauce instead of a tsp of sriracha (I don’t like things that are super spicy).

Otherwise, I followed the recipe and it came out wonderfully.

I love how this recipe calls for brown rice. The strong dressing complements the earthy, rough texture of the brown rice well. I’ll continue to use brown rice with this recipe instead of white rice.

Thanks again for a great recipe!

I’m sure it would have been great without my additions, but I substituted Cuban Black Beans from Trader Joe’s, and added roasated onions and a little Trader Joe’s corn salsa. I will make this again 🙂

This meal was delicious! I tried it tonight with Quinoa instead of rice. The family loved it. After reading comments I will definitely try Greek yogurt instead of mayo next time. But even though, I thought the sauce was really good. Keep these yummy recipes coming!

This is by far one of my favorite dinner recipes ever! I think it’s going to ingratiate itself into our dinnertime rotation! The only major thingi do differently is that I just make Pico de Gallo ahead of time and use that instead if your other listed toppings. I love me some Pico.

This was delicious! I used greek yogurt instead of mayo and you can’t even tell the difference because of the sriracha. Also didn’t have lime on hand, so used lemon instead. All around a wonderful, healthy and super filling dish! Seriously folks, consider the greek yogurt- the sauce really wasn’t missing anything.

Hi! This is an awesome recipe but wondering, what makes the fat content so high? I love the sauce but maybe am going to whip up some of my own avocado oil mayonnaise to use. Thanks!

I tried this recipe for dinner last night and it was pretty good! I loved the variety of ingredients/flavors, and that it had several healthy ingredients. I added some leftover rotisserie chicken which tasted great with it. I have to be honest, though, I didn’t really love the sauce like I thought I was going to. It just had too strong of a mayo flavor for me. Don’t get me wrong, I like mayo in general, but I felt like I tasted mayo way more than I expected. Granted, I didn’t add any sriracha, so maybe that would have helped. I personally would use sour cream next time as the base, or maybe half mayo, half sour cream. Overall a very wonderful meal, but I just wanted to share my thoughts about the mayo. Keep the recipes coming. I’ve made several things from your site last year!

The meal was delicious! I know it says no substitutions, but next time i would probably do either 1/4 cup mayo + 1/4 cup 2% greek plain yogurt for the dressing OR just do plain greek yogurt in place of the mayo. It would cut the fat, but still act as a base for the dressing, without compromising on flavor. I’ve done this for previous recipes, i don’t know why i didn’t for this one. Just a thought to help save some unnecessary fat & calories! 🙂

I made this last night for dinner and it was out of this world delicious! I added salt to the roasting veggies and half of an onion to the peppers. Honestly I didn’t even have any of the “extras” (avocado or jalepeno) and it was still phenomenal. I have two more servings left and I can’t wait to eat it again. Thanks so much for sharing this!

In reply to chelseamessyapron.

I decided on both. Since I already had everything to make the stove top bowl, I made that last night. The hubs loved it, BTW. Tonight, we are having it again and I am adding the sauce from the oven bowl. I really like oven roasted vegetables so I am looking forward to trying the new burrito bowl soon. Thanks for the great recipes! ☺

Hey Vikki! So great to hear from you 🙂 It IS actually based off of my other sweet potato burrito bowls that so many readers have loved. 🙂 Those are right here: https://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/one-skillet-sweet-potato-burrito-bowls/ There are quite a few differences — the older burrito bowls are all made in one skillet (on a range) and more of a hot cheesy rice and sweet potato dish with lots of southwestern veggies. This new burrito bowl has oven-roasted veggies and a creamy sauce that has a little bit of a kick to it. This new one has more of a spice kick to it and the veggies are eaten slightly cooled to go well with the sauce. They are more layered (rice, veggies and beans, sauce, toppings) while the older ones are all mixed together 🙂 While they are similar, they are also quite different, so hopefully my descriptions help you to decide which to make tonight (and then you’ll have to try the other one next time ;)) Enjoy!

Did you adapt this recipe from a previous recipe of yours called Sweet Potato Burrito Bowls? I was planning on making that tonight, came here to print out the recipe & found Easy Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burrito Bowls posted just yesterday! Now I can’t decide which burrito bowl to make tonight…love having these kinds of “problems!”
