Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, diced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 cup salsa (your choice of heat)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or vegan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potato mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.

        Sauté Vegetables: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

          Add Corn and Beans: Add the corn and black beans to the skillet with the onions and bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, the sautéed corn and bean mixture. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a generous squeeze of lime juice.

              Add Salsa and Cheese: Drizzle your favorite salsa on top and finish with crumbled feta cheese, if using.

                Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this colorful and flavorful Tex-Mex bowl!
