📝 Notes
- Sweet Potatoes: Roast until golden and tender for the best texture. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, and cumin for that signature taco flavor.
- Base Options: Use white rice, brown rice, or quinoa — or make it low-carb with cauliflower rice.
- Protein Choices: Black beans, ground turkey, grilled chicken, or tofu all pair perfectly with the roasted veggies.
- Toppings: Add corn, avocado slices, shredded cheese, salsa, or a drizzle of chipotle sauce for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep: These bowls reheat beautifully! Store ingredients separately for up to 4 days and assemble when ready to serve.
- Vegan Option: Skip the cheese and sour cream — opt for vegan yogurt or cashew cream instead.
- Serving Tip: Squeeze fresh lime juice on top before serving to brighten all the flavors.
