Instructions

Cumin-Lime Roasted Sweet Potato

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375F. Wash and prepare the sweet potato. Slice in half lengthwise, then cut into wedges. Toss with olive oil, lime juice and spices. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before plating.

Sweet Plantains

Step 2

Heat a skillet with coconut oil. Add the sliced plantains and sprinkle with coconut sugar. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Flip to the other side and sprinkle the remainder of coconut sugar over top. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb the extra oil.

Quinoa Tortillas

Step 3

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Use your hands to mix and knead until you form a large ball of dough. If too dry, add a splash or two of water. If too wet, add more quinoa flour. Separate evenly into about 12 balls.

Step 4

If you have a tortilla press, line with plastic wrap then place a single ball of dough in the center, press down to flatten then remove and carefully peel off the plastic wrap. If you do not have a press, place between two plastic wrap sheets on top a large cutting board and carefully roll the ball of dough out evenly using a rolling pin. Place the tortilla in an un-oiled, non-stick pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side on medium low heat. Repeat until complete.

Step 5

Note: These tortillas are heartier in texture than your average corn tortilla, but feels light and easy to digest.

Cacao mole

Step 6

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until creamy and well combined. Transfer to an airtight glass container and store until ready to use.

Guacamole

Step 7

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash together lightly, leaving large chunks of avocado left for texture. Prepare this guacamole right before you’re ready to eat.

To serve

Step 8

To Serve, toast the tortillas and spread the cacao mole on each tortilla. Layer with brown rice, sweet potato, plantains, guacamole/avocado, and a sprig or two of cilantro. Serve hot.
