Deliciously healthy “Mexican Street Corn” inspired burrito bowls with the Best Avocado Oil Mayo Dressing. Today, I’m mashing up 2 blog favorites per the request of my sister! Her absolute favorite recipe on my blog are these sweet potato burrito bowls and a close second is this Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad. She came up to babysit a couple of weeks ago and when I asked what I could have ready for dinner, she requested both of these dishes (and I’m quoting her here), “in a healthier mash-up”. So you can all thank her for this dish; which, if you try it, I think you’ll want to! This has quickly climbed the ranks to one of our favorite dishes as well. It’s a healthier dish that is packed with flavor and super filling while also being meatless. I swear to you the secret is the sauce on these bowls! And today we’re making that sauce healthier with avocado oil mayo. This mayo is a healthier alternative to regular mayo and it’s packed full with healthy fats. The avocado oil mayo is the base of the sauce and then you’ll add some lime juice + zest and a few seasonings. For an extra kick (if you like spice) try adding chipotle chili powder in place of regular chili powder — seriously good for a spice lover! Underneath the amazing sauce (that you’ll want to put on EVERYTHING) are a bed of rice, a serving of black beans, and the actual “Mexican Street Corn” inspired mix. This mix is lightly charred corn + peppers mixed with plenty of flavors common to Mexican Street Corn — green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños. I also add a little more paprika here, but feel free to omit if you’re worried about the spice. Add an extra squeeze of lime, drench these bowls in the sauce, and you’re ready to go! FOLLOW ALONG!
