Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into rounds
• 1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 avocado, ripe
• 1/4 cup unsweetened yogurt, dairy or dairy-free
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and sliced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking tray with a silicone liner or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the chilli powder, cumin, paprika, red chili flakes, and oregano together.

Lay the sweet potato and cauliflower on the baking tray and drizzle with the oil, then toss in the spice mix. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn and roast for a further 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables start crisp.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, mix the cooked and shredded chicken with nutritional yeast, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro and the juice of half a lime. Set aside.

In a small bowl, mash together the avocado and yogurt with 2 teaspoons lime juice and season well. Set aside.

Remove the crisp vegetables from the oven and spread on a serving plate. Top with cooked and seasoned chicken. Drizzle on salsa and guacamole. Garnish with lime wedges. Option to sprinkle on dairy-free cheese, or additional nutritional yeast, if desired.
