Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Seasoned salt and pepper
2-3 large (645g) sweet potatoes, (peeled and chopped (about 4.5-5 cups))
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, (drained and rinsed)
1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted sweet corn, (drained)
1-2 large avocados
3-4 fresh limes, (separated)
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, jalapeno, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers
1/2 cup (112g) sour cream ((I use fat free))
1 teaspoon hot sauce ((like Cholula))
1-2 large limes ((1/2 teaspoon zest + 3 tablespoons juice))
1 cup (171g) quinoa or rice ((+ 2 cups chicken stock (470g), chicken broth, or water))
1 tablespoon butter
1 large lime ( (2 tablespoons juice and 1 teaspoon zest))
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper, (to taste)

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.

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups sweet potato, cut into 1/2 (1/4 cm)
2 cups poblano pepper, cut into 1/2 in pieces (1/4 cm)
¼ cup olive oil
1 oz McCormick® Original Taco Seasoning, 1 packet
½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
10 corn tortillas, warmed
½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup water
½ cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 medium avocado, pitted and peeled
¼ cup plain yogurt
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and poblanos. Drizzle over olive oil and add the McCormick® Original Taco Seasoning packet. Mix together.
  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway, until soft and browned.
  • Meanwhile, make the pickled onions: Add the onion to a medium heatproof bowl.
  • Add the water, vinegar, and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour the pickling liquid over the onion to submerge. Let cool.
  • Make the avocado crema: Add the avocado, yogurt, salt, and lime juice to a blender or food processor, and blend on high speed until smooth.
  • When the vegetables have finished roasting, remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a large bowl, then toss with the black beans.
  • To assemble the tacos, spread 1-2 tablespoons of avocado crema in the center of a warm tortilla and top with about ⅓ cup of the roasted sweet potato mixture, 1 tablespoon pickled onions, ½ tablespoon crumbled Cotija cheese, and a small bunch of microgreens. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork before baking: This helps the steam escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender all the way through: This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them: This will make them easier to peel and cut.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless! Some popular options include black beans, corn, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Get creative with your seasonings: A simple salt and pepper mixture is always good, but you can also add other spices like chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Make it a meal: Serve your sweet potato taco bowls with a side of rice, beans, or salad.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato taco bowls are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give sweet potato taco bowls a try!
