Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Place the chopped sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in an even layer. Roast for 25 minutes or until the edges are browned, stirring once halfway through.
Step 3
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, make the black beans. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the black beans, cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Stir until combined. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the lime juice, stir, and remove from the heat. Set aside.
Step 5
To make the chipotle lime crema, in a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), adobo sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and salt.
Step 6
To assemble the bowls, add the sweet potatoes, black beans, lettuce, rice or quinoa, avocado, pickled red onions, cilantro, and pepitas to a bowl. Top with the chipotle lime crema and serve.
