Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa under cold water until it runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or low-sodium broth to a boil with ¼ teaspoon salt. Add the grains, stir once, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer.
- Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat, keeping it covered for 5–10 minutes. Fluff the grains with a fork until light and airy.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potato, bell pepper, and broccoli with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Roast for 20–25 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using very lean beef, add olive oil; sauté onion for 3-4 minutes, add garlic, then crumbled beef; cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Stir in soy sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, adding water if necessary.
- In a small saucepan, combine drained beans with corn and a splash of water. Warm gently for 3-5 minutes, then set aside.
- Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, chopped cilantro in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning.
- Prepare fresh toppings: halve tomatoes, slice onion, chop herbs, cut lime. Slice avocado just before serving.
- Assemble bowls with grains, beef, veggies, beans, and corn. Add cheese, toppings, and drizzle with sauce or hot sauce to taste.
- For meal prep, store bowls in airtight containers; keep fresh toppings separate until ready to serve.
