spiced sweet potato & creamy black beans bowl with lime avocado yogurt sauce

sweet potatoes are spiced up and roasted then served with creamy mexican-style black beans and a lime avocado yogurt sauce

These easy spiced sweet potato and creamy black bean bowls are not only so simple, come together quickly but are also pretty budget friendly!

You can serve these up over any grain you have or throw it all into a wrap and eat it burrito style!

Or if you really want, just scoop everything up on a chip and your favorite toppings!

There’s really no wrong way to go about eating this dish.

You can alter the spices or amounts of spices to suit your needs. There’s no hard and fast rules. If you’d rather top with hot sauce and omit the spices on the potatoes, you can do that too.

If you’re a meat lover, you can totally throw some ground turkey or chicken into the mix. Crumbled tofu would also work really well!

Top with whatever your favorites are – salsa, the lime avocado yogurt sauce I feature, plain diced avocado, hot sauce, cilantro…the sky is the limit!

No matter how you customize it to make it your own, it’s quick, easy and delicious.
