Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients
  

For the sweet potatoes:
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and cut into long wedges
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or ground black pepper
For the beans:
For the tortilla strips:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 corn tortillas cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
For the bowl:
  • 1 large poblano pepper
  • 4 large hard boiled eggs peeled
  • 4 ounces Monterey Jack or Aged Jack cheese sliced
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Toss potato wedges with oil, garlic, salt, and Aleppo pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until a fork easily goes through, about 20-25 minutes. Cover with foil and keep warm.
  2. While potatoes are roasting, make the beans. Heat oil in a medium saucepan and add onion, season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and spices and stir in the oil to toast, about 1 minute. Add beans and their liquid and bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until thickened. Blend until smooth with a stick blender, if you'd like, otherwise, cover and keep warm.
  3. To make the tortilla strips; heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add strips and fry, turning frequently until toasted and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Char the poblano by setting it over a gas flame or placing under the broiler. Either way, turn frequently with tongs until it the skin is charred on all sides. This will take about 5-8 minutes. Remove to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Peel off the charred skin and thinly slice, discarding the stem and seeds.
  5. To make the bowls; divide beans, sweet potato, pepper strips, eggs, Jack cheese, and avocado halves between 4 bowls. Toss arugula with tortilla strips and a sprinkling of olive oil and salt and divide between the bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with cilantro leaves and cotija and serve.
