I love one-bowl meals and this recipe fits the bill perfectly. In addition to sweet potatoes and black beans, this bowl brims with corn and quinoa and a chipotle-spiced lime cilantro vinaigrette drizzled on top. These ingredients also taste great in a warm tortilla or over a bed of dark leafy greens.
1 cup red quinoa
2 cups pea shoots or arugula
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice (about ¼ lime)
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 large unpeeled sweet potato, diced (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1½ cups precooked black beans or 1 (15-ounce) can or carton
1 cup corn, fresh or cooked from frozen according to package instructions
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced, for garnish
QUINOA In a large pot, bring 2 cups water and quinoa to a boil.Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until all the water evaporates, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa, greens, oil, lime juice, and salt.
SWEET POTATOES Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sweet potatoes in a bowl and coat with oil and salt. Place on the lined baking sheet and bake until tender and browned, about 20 minutes.
BLACK BEANS AND CORN In a medium bowl, combine the beans, corn, onion, oil, cumin, and salt. Toss until thoroughly combined.
VINAIGRETTE Combine the oil, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and chipotle powder in a blender and process until smooth.
ASSEMBLE In four individual serving bowls, arrange the sweet potatoes, beans mixture, quinoa mixture, and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve the extra sauce on the side.
