Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Bowls

These Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Bowls are hearty, nutritious, and bursting with flavor! 
It's definitely comfort food in a bowl, plus they are so easy to make!
I've always been a big fan of Mexican food. Like, an I could eat it every night of the week type of fan. Tacos, enchiladas, nachos, burritos...you name it and I love it. One of my new favorite meals is a burrito bowl. It's everything you love in a burrito, but without the tortilla and in a bowl instead. I love piling mine high with rice, beans, chicken, lots of different veggies, salsa and sour cream. The thing is huge by the time I'm done with it! My boys have really gotten into these bowls too, and enjoy building their own with their favorite toppings.

Recently I decided to do a riff on that burrito bowl by making it a bit lighter and going vegetarian style. I adore sweet potatoes, especially roasted, and thought they would be perfect to star in their own creation. That's when these Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Bowls were born! 

Slow Cooker Shredded Pork Taco Bowls {Meat Month}

I know I told ya'll earlier in the week that I had some pork tenderloins to cook up. I used one to make delicious spicy pork tenderloin sandwiches. Today I used the other one to make these amazing shredded pork taco bowls. The best part? The pork cooked in my slow cooker all day!

I guess you could say this meal is a little like Sarah's Semi-Homemade. :) I used the Roasted Pasilla Chile cooking sauce from Herdez to slow cook my pork all day. Then I baked up some Azteca crispy salad shells. Add beans, cheese and all your fresh veggies and it's a perfect dinner!
