Avocado Mojo Sauce:
– 1/3 cup avocado oil
– ½ avocado
– ¼ cup orange juice
– 1 tablespoon white vinegar
– 1 clove garlic
– ¼ cup packed cilantro, leaves, and stems
– ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
– ¼ cup mayo (optional – adds creaminess)
The Bowl Components:
– 2 sweet potatoes
– 1 red onion
– 2 tablespoons avocado oil
– 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor if desired)
– Protein of choice – Amylu chicken meatballs or hot, roasted rotisserie chicken work well
Instructions:
1. Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into your preferred shape (wedges are recommended for that satisfying “thick, happy fries” experience).
Place them on a large baking sheet and toss with avocado oil and taco seasoning until evenly coated.
2. Onions: Peel the red onion and slice it into thin wedges. Arrange the onion wedges on the baking sheet among the sweet potatoes.
3. Roasting: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for a total of 35 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, flip the sweet potato pieces and add your meatballs (if using pre-cooked ones).
Allow them to bake for the remaining 15 minutes, ensuring everything is nicely cooked and golden.
4. Sauce: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado mojo sauce. Using a blender or a mini chopper, combine the avocado oil, half an avocado, orange juice, white vinegar, garlic, cilantro, kosher salt, and mayo (optional).
Blend until smooth and adjust the taste as desired. Set the sauce aside.
5. Serving: Pour a generous amount of the avocado mojo sauce onto a plate or in a bowl. Top it with the meatballs, sweet potatoes, and onions.
The combination of flavors and textures creates the ultimate comfort food experience, with the bonus of a saucy dipping sensation.
These flavorful creations offer a perfect balance of savory and zesty flavors, enhanced by the creaminess of the avocado mojo sauce.
Each bite is a harmonious blend of seasoned sweet potatoes, succulent protein, and caramelized onions. Elevate your bowl game with this irresistible dish that combines comfort, freshness, and a delightful saucy twist.
Enjoy the sumptuous flavors and savor the bowl life at its finest!
