Ranchero Bowls

with Cumin-Roasted Vegetables & Serrano Yogurt

This hearty bowl is packed with bold flavors and luscious textures, yet somehow it's high-fiber, high-protein, sodium-smart, gluten-free, and under 600 calories! Wild rice, which isn't actually rice at all, adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture to earthy black beans and sweet roasted red peppers. A spicy serrano-lime yogurt adds richness to this lip-smacking tasty dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the vegetables

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine sweet potato, bell pepper, shallot, serrano pepper, just 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Roast until sweet potato is tender and peppers are charred, 20 to 22 minutes. Roughly chop roasted serrano, transfer to small bowl, and set aside.

2
Warm the rice

Meanwhile, combine rice and black beans in medium bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir in cilantro and just 1 tsp lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm. (TIP: You can also combine precooked brown rice and 1 tbsp water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and steam until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.)

3
Make the serrano yogurt

Add yogurt, just 1 tsp lime juice, 1 tsp olive oil, and ¼ tsp salt to bowl with serrano and stir to combine.

4
Serve

Divide rice and beans between serving bowls. Top ranchero bowls with cumin-roasted vegetables. Serve with lime wedges and serrano yogurt. Dig in!
