Recently it seems like we are busier than ever, even on the weekends. I just can’t keep up! Easy breezy meals that are super yummy but don’t require a lot of time or effort are a must these days. Burrito bowls are one of my very favorite go-to meals for busy weeknights AND for special occasions. They’re like a good pair of boots – you can dress them up or dress them down. And the best part? They’re really quick and easy to make.
I usually go with chicken or steak but recently we tried burrito bowls with chili lime seasoned sweet potatoes and absolutely loved them! The sweet potatoes are tender and well-seasoned, plus they’re a little crisp on the outside and really tender in the middle which in my opinion, is the perfect texture for sweet potatoes when you’re using them in place of a traditional protein. Pair those sweet potatoes with corn salsa, black beans, rice, and some guacamole and these make the most delicious 30-minute meal. Your whole family (even the meat lovers) will go crazy for these tasty burrito bowls!!
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade guacamole
- 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
corn salsa
- 1 cup sweet yellow corn
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped
- juice of 1/2 lime
- salt to taste
- 2 cups steamed white rice
Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with oil, then add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat well. Transfer to a skillet and saute over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.
- Stir together all ingredients for the corn salsa.

First attempt doing burrito bowls at home, and this recipe was easy and tasted so delicious. I added a few other things, while still following the recipe. It turned out awesome. I would definitely make this again. They were as good as the burrito bowls you get at restaurants 😉 Highly recommend this recipe, especially for people with not much experience cooking!

Yay!! I’m so glad they turned out so well for you. I love when I can make some of my favorite restaurant dishes at home, one so that I can save money and two I can go back for seconds! Thank you, Bryanna.
