High-Fiber Breakfast Burrito Bowls
Black beans, eggs, sweet potatoes, avocado, salsa, and cottage cheese crema make a breakfast bowl built for protein and fiber.
I reach for this bowl when breakfast needs to carry more of the day.
Beans and sweet potatoes make it filling, eggs make it familiar, and cottage cheese turns into a quick crema instead of sitting on top in curds.
Roasting the sweet potatoes with cumin and smoked paprika gives the bowl burrito flavor without needing a tortilla.
The beans warm with the same spices, so the whole thing tastes intentional.
The crema is just cottage cheese, lime, and salsa blended until smooth.
It is a practical way to add tang and protein while keeping the bowl bright.
