Easy Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burrito Bowls

A delicious and simple to make sweet potato black bean burrito bowls — brown rice, seasoned & roasted sweet potatoes, bell peppers, black beans, and avocado with the most incredible chipotle lime sauce.

This meal has been a huge dinner win in my home. It’s so easy to prepare, it’s healthy, makes a great meal prep, and it’s super filling (and hey, that’s even without meat!). Brown rice topped with roasted veggies + black beans and then the most delicious sauce coats every bite. Add some avocado, lime, and cilantro (jalapeño if you love some heat) and you are well on your way to dinner heaven. This meal is very simple to prepare. You start by prepping out the rice and get that cooking while you preheat the oven for the veggies. Quickly chop up the sweet potatoes (or buy pre-chopped if you are in a hurry!) and some bell peppers and then throw those in the oven with a few seasonings.

While everything is cooking you can prep the sauce that coats it all and just take it easy for a bit. Once everything is done, the assembly begins — basically throw it all together and mix it up and dinner is served.
