Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
- Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway through the baking time.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice and paprika.
- Rub this mixture onto the pork fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- Cook the pork fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are nicely browned on the outside.
- Once cooked, remove the pork fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting and the pork is cooking, wash and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
- In a large bowl or on a plate, arrange a bed of lettuce as the base.
- Add a portion of roasted sweet potatoes, sliced pork, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and avocado slices on top.
- Dollop the Greek yogurt over the salad as a healthy dressing alternative.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve the healthy pork burrito bowl immediately while the ingredients are fresh.
- Optionally, you can squeeze a bit more lime juice on top or add extra herbs and spices to taste.
Tips:
- Marinate the pork fillets with lime juice and paprika for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- For a smoother and creamier texture, mash the avocado before adding it to the burrito bowl.
- Use fresh and crisp lettuce for added crunch and freshness in your bowl.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized pieces for easier mixing and eating.
- Mix the Greek yogurt with a bit of lime juice and paprika to create a tangy dressing for the bowl.
- Don't forget to sprinkle fresh coriander leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor.
