Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. Season the Meat: Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin, then add diced red onion. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Add Beans and Corn: Stir in black beans and corn and heat for another 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide roasted potatoes into bowls, top with the meat mixture.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream.
