Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Sour cream, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, warm the black beans and corn in a saucepan over medium heat. Prepare the fresh toppings by halving the cherry tomatoes and dicing the avocado.
  5. Step 5: Divide the roasted potatoes into serving bowls. Top each bowl with warm black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and shredded cheese.
  6. Step 6: Finish by adding a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro leaves, and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry thoroughly.
  • Feel free to add cooked ground beef or shredded chicken for added protein.
  • Swap the black beans for pinto beans or refried beans for a different texture.
  • Add a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the seasoning for a smoky or spicy kick.

Storage

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the roasted potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness, and warm the beans and corn on the stove or microwave. Assemble bowls fresh before serving for the best texture.

How to Serve

A round white bowl holds a layered colorful dish. The bottom layer is golden roasted potato cubes with a slightly crispy texture, filling half the bowl around the edge. Next to the potatoes, bright yellow corn kernels and chopped avocado pieces mix with halved red cherry tomatoes, forming a fresh vegetable section. Black beans fill a small section next to the vegetables, deep black in color. On top of the potatoes, finely shredded light yellow cheese is sprinkled, and in the center of the bowl, a dollop of white sour cream sits, garnished with chopped green cilantro. A quarter wedge of lime rests on the side, bright green and fresh. The bowl is placed on a wooden surface with scattered cilantro leaves and lime wedges nearby.
