Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure crispy roasted potatoes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss diced baby or Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.

  6. Assemble the bowls by layering crispy roasted potatoes, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, avocado, and any preferred toppings.
  7. Serve with lime wedges on the side, squeezing over the top for a burst of flavor.
