You guys know I’m a big fan of the black bean/corn/sweet potato combo.  And while it’s an awesome flavor combination on it’s own, the creamy, avocado yogurt sauce takes the whole thing to a new (more delicious) level.

This meal is wonderful for several reasons – it’s quick to pull together, it’s incredibly filling and it packs lean protein, veggies, whole grains, dairy and healthy fats all into one bowl.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing better a dish can bring than that!

I also recommend topping with some reduced fat Mexican blend cheese and hot sauce and serve with blue corn chips!
