¼ cup PRANA organic raw European pumpkin seeds

Lemon Garlic Tahini Sauce
Directions
Lemon Garlic Tahini Sauce
Pour tahini in a bowl. Add water and mix with a whisk or spoon. At first the tahini will get a little sticky and slow to absorb the water, but keep stirring until sauce turns smooth and creamy. Add in lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper, mixing well.
Burrito Bowl
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Cook quinoa in 1 cup of water with coconut oil and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
In a bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spread cubes evenly and oven-roast 25 minutes.
In a large dry pan, toast pumpkin seeds for a few minutes making sure not to burn them. In a small pot, heat black beans along with a dash of olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
Cut avocado in cubes. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, roasted sweet potato and black beans. Top with avocado cubes, drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Add tahini sauce and serve
Recipe Note
Tahini sauce will keep 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Add a little water as needed if the mixture thickens too much.
