Ingredients
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons plain unsweetened yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
- ½ tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon agave nectar (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper
Filling:
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- ½ cup cubed sweet potato (½ medium)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ½ cup cooked black beans
Cereal:
- ⅓ cup dry The Soulfull Project Hearty Grains & Seeds Cereal or dry rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper
Optional toppings:
- Fried egg
- Fresh cilantro
- Sliced jalapeno pepper
- Chopped green onion
Instructions
Prepare the sauce:
- Whisk yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, agave nectar (if using), cumin, and salt and pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the filling:
- Add grapeseed oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in sweet potato, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sweet potato is tender. Stir in baby spinach and black beans, and cook 2 minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Turn off heat.
Prepare the cereal:
- While the sweet potato is cooking, boil ⅔ cup water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Stir in Hearty Grains & Seeds Cereal and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 4 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached. If cereal is too thick or dry, gradually stir in additional water as needed.
- Transfer cooked cereal, bean filling, and yogurt sauce to a bowl. Add a fried egg, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeño pepper, and chopped green onion if desired.
Notes
Vegan variation: Use dairy-free yogurt alternative (such as plain unsweetened coconutmilk yogurt) instead of dairy-based yogurt. Omit the fried egg or substitute with tofu scramble.
