how to make Southwest Spice Green Chile Bowl
Roast the potatoes and peppers, scramble the eggs with chiles, and then build bowls with fresh toppings. Work in steps so nothing overcooks. If you like bowls that mix roasted veg and simple proteins, you can use the same roast-and-assemble idea from some crispy Japanese katsu bowls to keep things tidy and fast.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup diced russet potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 cup canned or roasted green chiles, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions :
- Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow to fully preheat.

Serve warm right after you make it. Place bowls on the table with extra sour cream, hot sauce, and lime wedges. Offer warm tortillas or tortilla chips on the side so people can scoop or wrap the bowl.
how to store Southwest Spice Green Chile Bowl
Cool leftovers to room temperature within two hours. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep avocado and sour cream separate if you want to keep them fresh longer. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until hot, then add fresh toppings before serving.
