Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 15 oz can black beans
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa (made from 1 cup dry)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt + pepper
  • Lettuce/greens to serve
  • 1 batch Cilantro-Avocado Dressing
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup water
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • Salt + pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Peel and chop the sweet potato in small, bite-sized pieces. Melt the coconut oil and drizzle it over the sweet potatoes. Toss to coat. Add in chili powder and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
  • Roast sweet potatoes for 20 - 25 minutes until tender, stirring half way through so as not to burn them.
  • While sweet potatoes are cooking, rinse and drain the black beans. Add them to a large bowl along with quinoa. Set aside.
  • Add all dressing ingredients to a blender (starting with less water and adding more as needed). Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add enough water to make it drizzable.
  • Once sweet potatoes are done roasting, let them cool for 5 minutes. Add to the bowl with black beans and quinoa. Squeeze lime juice over the top and stir to combine.
  • Arrange lettuce in 4 bowls Top with sweet potato-black bean mixture and drizzle with dressing. Enjoy as is or toss everything together in the bowls (I did this and it was yum!).
