Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl

vegan sweet potato black bean burrito bowl with cashew sour cream

Behold, this better than Chipotle, vegan sweet potato burrito bowl. If you love Mexican food, and love burrito bowls, this is for you. Packed with protein, hearty sweet potato and made extra creamy with avocado and homemade cashew cream.This bowl was inspired by my favourite bowl at Kupfert and Kim the Oaxaca bowl (which I just found out is pronounced wha-hawk-ah) for those of you who also call it ‘the Oxana bowl’. And of course also a classic Chipotle order.

Cashew Sour Cream:

The cashew cream in this recipe is inspired by Oh She Glows, the vegan cooking goddess! Check out the full recipe here.
