Chipotle Tahini Bowls
Featured comment
This was so good it should say “Caution: will overeat”! I had 2 bowls for dinner and 1 for breakfast. How did you come up with this sauce???😍

Well, HELLO!
Crisped roasted sweet potatoes, finely chopped and texturally awesome kale, creamy avocado, hearty quinoa, and a 6-minute soft boiled egg – admittedly already an exciting combo in and of itself. But you guys, THAT CHIPOTLE TAHINI. That addictingly creamy, sweet and spicy, pour-it-on-everything chipotle tahini.
That is what we really need to talk about.
These are, after all, Chipotle Tahini Bowls.
How To Make Chipotle Tahini and Be Changed Forever
Okay, first stop: olive oil, salt, tahini, garlic. Basics.
But things stop being basic when we add chipotle peppers and orange juice.
And… that’s pretty much the recipe and I’m not even joking!
These are “bowls,” which are very excellent in that you can kind of just pick your veggies, pick your protein, maybe sorta clean out the fridge (not saying, just saying), cover with a really good sauce such, and voila. BOWLS.
My favorite combo for building a good Chipotle Tahini Bowl:
- Quinoa
- Sweet potato (tricks in notes)
- Kale
- Avocado
- Soft-boiled egg (more tricks in notes)
- MORE AND MORE CHIPOTLE TAHINI!
Just try to stop me.
You can eat it hot. You can eat it cold. You can add chicken or tofu. You can go completely vegan or gluten free.
But whatever you do, please do it with a huge spoonful of chipotle tahini on top.
So, yeah. This week is looking super healthy and mega delicious. *hair flip*

Description
Healthy and versatile bowls that come together under a generous drizzle of addictingly creamy vegan chipotle tahini sauce.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
Chipotle Tahini
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1–2 chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1 small clove of garlic
- juice of 1 orange (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Build the Bowls:
- Roasted sweet potatoes (see notes for my favorite method!)
- Soft-boiled eggs (see notes for my favorite method!)
- Sautéed or massaged kale
- Quinoa
- Avocado
- Anything else you want!
Instructions
- Pulse all sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Season to taste.
- Cook / prepare your bowl ingredients. My favorite combination is kale, roasted sweet potato, avocado, quinoa, and soft boiled egg. But I’ve also included chicken, roasted broccoli, etc.
- Smother everything in sauce! So good.
Notes
My Fave Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and line a pan with parchment. Peel and cube 2-3 large sweet potatoes. Toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch to coat (helps them stay crispy), and then toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast for 20 minutes, gently stir, and roast for another 10-15 minutes. Roasty and brown! Yum!
My Favorite Soft Boiled Eggs: Bring a pot of water to gentle boil (you want enough water to cover eggs by about one inch). Gently add eggs to the water and time for about 6 1/2 minutes. Remove and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel, cut, YUM! Those jammy yolks! (For meal prep, I make these ahead, peel, and keep them in the fridge.)

Nice to meet you!
I’m Lindsay and I ♡ FOOD. I used to be a teacher, and now making food and writing about it online is my full-time job. I love talking with people about food, and I'm so glad you're here.
Did you make a recipe? Tag @pinchofyum on Instagram so we can find you!
If I wanted to add tofu or chicken, how would you recommend cooking it with some added flavor?
I’d probably prepare it like the chicken in this recipe: https://pinchofyum.com/15-minute-meal-prep-sesame-noodle-bowls. Check out the notes for directions! Essentially bake it, and then sauté in some of the dressing.
Last week I made crispy tofu fried in a pan and smothered it in a soy sriracha sauce and it was SO GOOD. I think it would work well with the chipotle flavours in this recipe but only if you like a solid kick cuz it’ll be flavourtown for sure
I don’t normally leave comments on recipes- but wow this sauce is amazing!! I’m already trying to think of ways I can use this sauce in other recipes, it’s just that good!
Very amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing
These look so pretty! I am not a fan of soft boiled (or hard boiled) eggs, but you’ve got my attention with the rest of the bowl. And I love how excited you get about your sauces. I really felt that hair flip.
😂😂 hope you enjoy it, Sarah!
Hi!!! I just found your page and I am loving it!!!! I was wondering if u can tell me how to make these bowls Keto? Thanks!
Carman,
I am going to make this sauce and substitute lemon or lime for the orange juice to cut back on the sugar content. For the bowl I will do kale, avocado, egg, and a protein with plenty of this sauce drizzled over the top!
Hi!! What do you think a suitable replacement for the tahini would be?
You could try almond butter!
Wow. Just Wow! Everything looks and sounds marvelous. I absolutely LOVE soft boiled eggs and they add such a beautiful touch to this bowl. I’ve definitely gotta try the sauce. That must be beyond amazing. And what’s really great – it is a healthy dish. Thanks a bunch!
How long does the sauce keep in the fridge?
OK so I made this dish for the first time tonight, for some reason I put the whole can of peppers into the sauce and holy moly! It was soooooo hot, it was even too hot for my husband who loves spicy food and is from Indonesia 😅 luckily I had some sour cream in the fridge that we added in and once my mouth cooled down the flavors and textures were amazing! I’ll have to make it again, but worth a bit less sauce next time! Thanks for the recipe.
I’m changing my diet ot more softer foods like Tofu, Sea bass, Scallops, boiled eggs, Avocado, and Shrimps.
Yum yum yum!! Those eggs look gorgeous! Question: what kind of tahini did you use?
How to eat the food that we prepare from fridge? Do we need to microwave it first?
What does the nutrition info apply to? Just one serving of the sauce?
You can microwave it or eat it cold like a salad – both are great!
I absolutely love soft boiled eggs and they add such a beautiful touch to this bowl. I’ve definitely gotta try the sauce.
Whoa! You had me at “Chipotle “.
This looks sooo good. Definitely going to make it! Just wondering: what do you do with the kale? Just add it raw?
Yep!
Lindsay, this looks really good! I think I need to make these for myself and the kids. Love this idea!
You are so excited about your sauces, oh god. It’s so nice lol
Due to your recipe, my dinner was really delicious, thank you.
I love your recipes, I have prepared some, I hope to prepare this, this week. They are incredible.
Is that 1/2 cup oil accurate? Just seems like a lot relative to the other ingredients. Can’t wait to try!
Yep! It’s accurate.
I halved the oil (1/4 cup) and it was delicious! I didn’t miss it at all. Love this recipe.
Hi there! Is the nutritional facts just for the sauce or the whole bowl including other ingredients? 🙂 Thanks!
Just for the sauce!
How long will the sauce last for?
Should last for a week!
Hi!
This recipe looks very attractive.I am very eager to eat this recipe.
Made this tonight and the sauce was amazing! Made the bowls exactly as described and my husband and I loved it. Also loved the tip about adding corn starch to the sweet potatoes to make them crispier.
Meal prepped with feta in place of egg and avocado and this is amazinggggg, so excited for lunch all this week. Thank you for another delicious recipe!
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow so nice…. awesome recipe dear.
It’s really new recipe for me,i’ll surely try this
Looks delicious… Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe.
This recipe is AMAZING. The sauce is pure genius!
This was so delicious! The sweet potatoes came out great with the addition of corn stArch. Always doing it that way now. I also baked the kale into “kale chips” to add some crunch. A keeper for sure. Thanks!
Girl…made this Sunday…I portioned out lunch in to go containers for 3 days this week for an amazing lunch on th go!!!! Perfect 6 minute eggs!!! And chicken broth in the quinoa is everything!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Loooove this!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
