1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooked black beans (rinsed and drained if canned)
1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 avocado, sliced

For the Chipotle Sauce:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, blend all chipotle sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- If desired, heat the black beans and corn in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
- Divide the roasted potatoes into bowls and top with beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and cilantro.
- Drizzle with chipotle sauce and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve immediately while the potatoes are warm and crispy.
Notes
Swap black beans with pinto beans or lentils for variety.
Use an air fryer or omit oil for an oil-free version.
Add shredded lettuce or purple cabbage for extra crunch.
Include jalapeños or extra chipotle for more heat.
Sprinkle dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist.
Store components separately for best texture when reheating.
