Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Potatoes
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes Yukon gold or sweet potatoes can be used as alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Beef and Bean Mixture
  • 1 pound lean ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
For Assembly
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Cotija cheese can be used for a Mexican twist.
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime cut into wedges For serving.
  • 1/2 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream Can be substituted with dairy-free alternatives.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure every cube is well-coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
Roasting and Cooking
  1. Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing them halfway through, until golden brown and tender inside.
  2. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring well and cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt if needed.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. To assemble the bowls, place a generous portion of roasted potatoes at the bottom of four bowls.
  2. Top the potatoes with the beef, bean, and corn mixture.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot mixture to allow it to melt.
  4. Finish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, salsa, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  5. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results, keeping toppings separate.
