Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water, salt, and the lime zest. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cover and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet evenly. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using your hands, toss to combine and make sure all the sweet potatoes are coated. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the beans (with their liquid), the cumin and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

Divide the rice, sweet potatoes and beans among four bowls. Top each bowl with avocado and Queso Fresco, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
