A savory and hearty dinner served in a bowl – turkey and sweet potato burrito bowls. It’s a mouth-watering meal with a bit of kick thanks to chipotle chili powder, cilantro, cumin and lime. Top it all off with some cool sour cream. Sounds pretty great!

Any Chipotle restaurant fans out there? Sadly, I don’t have one near me these days, but I try to hit one up as often as I can when I travel to other cities. Which happens to be a lot lately. Luckily, it’s easy to skip Chipotle and make your burrito bowl right at home.

You can have your burrito bowl and eat it too! That’s because this dish is brimming with an abundance of healthy ingredients including black beans, sweet potato, and ground turkey. And if you really want to go that extra step and make these even healthier, you can use quinoa in place of the rice.
