Sweet Potato and White Bean Burrito Bowl

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine sweet potato, onion, garlic, and tomatoes in a roasting pan. Drizzle oil over them and sprinkle with chili seasoning, spice blend, and salt. Toss to coat.

Roast for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and lightly browned. Remove from oven and add beans, grapes, and cilantro to pan. Sprinkle lime juice over and toss well.

To Serve

Divide rice among four bowls and top with potato mixture. Garnish each bowl with avocado slices if desired. Drizzle 2 tablespoons dipping sauce (if using) over each bowl.

You’ve Got Options

Although this is a bowl recipe, you can wrap it up to go: combine rice and sweet potato mixture together, spoon about ½ cup into the center of a 10-inch tortilla, top with avocado slices, and wrap as you would a burrito.

If you wish to cook dried white beans, use 2 cups cooked beans to replace the canned beans.

If you have it, toss in ¼ cup chopped fresh savory or oregano (or 2 tablespoons dried).
