Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into bite-sized chunks. Toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mixture. Toss together with your hands until well coated and then bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss around and return for another 15 minutes. Remove, toss around and if needed cook for another 5-10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. Remove the tray and add the drained & rinsed black beans, drained corn, and 1 more teaspoon of the seasoning mixture. Toss everything on the tray (The beans and corn will get warm on the hot tray).
- Meanwhile, make cilantro lime rice or quinoa: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the butter and rice (or quinoa) and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice (or quinoa) is cooked through and tender. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, and salt + pepper to taste.
- Make the sauce: combine the sour cream, lime zest & 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, Cholula hot sauce, and 1/2 to 1 full tablespoon* of the remaining spice mixture (or add the spice mixture to personal preference). Whisk until smooth.
- Assemble: in bowls or on plates, add the rice as a base. Top with sweet potatoes, corn, & black bean mixture. Add your other desired toppings such as avocado, tomatoes, and additional cilantro. Drizzle the sauce over or serve as a side. Squeeze on some fresh lime and enjoy immediately!
- For leftovers, store the sauce separately from the other ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse very well with cold water; shake gently to drain the excess water. Transfer the quinoa to a medium saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 16 minutes. Keep covered, off the heat, for 5 minutes then uncover and cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread on a rimmed baking pan in a single layer. Bake until just tender and browned in spots, about 20 minutes. Add the beans, soy sauce and hot sauce to the pan and stir to mix.
- Spoon the quinoa into bowls and top with the sweet potato-black bean mixture. Top with avocado and pumpkin seeds and drizzle with the dressing.
- Whisk the yogurt, parsley, lime juice and garlic together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe sweet potatoes. Look for ones that are firm and have smooth skin without blemishes.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can bake the sweet potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender.
- To make the chimichurri sauce, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- The chimichurri sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- If you want a spicier chimichurri sauce, add more red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers.
- For a vegetarian version of this bowl, use black beans or lentils instead of chicken.
- This bowl is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato bowl with chimichurri sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. The chimichurri sauce is especially flavorful, and it adds a nice kick to the sweet potatoes and chicken. This bowl is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
