  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Bowl Base:
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  • Roast sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
  • Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, honey, and salt until smooth.
  • Assemble bowls: Divide rice into bowls, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion.
  • Finish & serve: Drizzle with dressing, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Swap rice with quinoa for a nutrient boost.
  • Make it vegan by using a dairy-free yogurt in the dressing.
  • Meal prep friendly – store toppings separately and assemble before eating.
