RECIPE OVERVIEW

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 2 bowls
Difficulty: Easy

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup quinoa (or your favorite grain)
  • 2 cups mixed greens (arugula, lettuce, spinach)
  • 1 large chicken breast (or tofu for vegan option)
  • 1 large sweet potato, cubed
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Faida Drizzle:

  • 3-4 tbsp Faida Original Hot Sauce

LET'S MAKE IT

Step 1: Cook Your Grain

Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside. Pro tip: cook extra for meal prep!

Step 2: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip halfway through for even cooking.

Step 3: Grill the Protein

Season chicken breast (or tofu) with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill or pan-sear for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.

Step 4: Build Your Bowl

Layer greens at the bottom. Add quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, avocado, and pomegranate seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Step 5: Drizzle & Enjoy

Generously drizzle your Faida sauce over everything. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top.

Don't fight your drool — dig in! 🌶️

 

FAIDA TIPS

Meal Prep Friendly: Make all components ahead and assemble when ready to eat
Swap It Up: Use chicken, salmon, tofu, or chickpeas for protein
Grain Options: Try brown rice, farro, or cauliflower rice
Add More Veggies: Roasted broccoli, bell peppers, or cucumber work great
Adjust the Heat: Start with less Faida sauce if you're heat-sensitive, or go wild if you love the burn!
