Description
I’m a huge fan of one bowl meals, aka “power bowls” because they are easy to assemble and a great way to pack in a nutritious meal with minimal effort. Get the recipe for one of my favorites – a chipotle-inspired plant protein power bowl!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into small cubes
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup fresh salsa
- 1 cups baby spinach
For the cilantro lime quinoa:
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 2 Tablespoons cup cilantro chopped
- 1/2 lime, juiced
For the guacamole:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons red onion, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin and salt and toss to combine. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 15 minutes, or until fork tender. When finished, set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the guacamole. In a bowl, add the avocado and mash until creamy. Add the cilantro, red onion, garlic powder, salt and lime juice and stir to combine.
- To make the cilantro lime quinoa, cook quinoa according to package (about 1/3 cup dry). Once cooked, fluff with a fork and add the cilantro and lime juice. Mix well.
- To assemble the power bowl, add 1/2 cup cooked quinoa to the bottom of the bowl. Add a handful of spinach. Next, add about 1/2 cup each of the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans. Then, add a scoop of the fresh salsa and homemade guacamole. Enjoy!
