Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Then stir in the brown rice, cover and turn heat to low. Steam until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
While the rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add cubed sweet potatoes and season with about 3 pinches of salt. Cook until potatoes are lightly caramelized, stirring infrequently, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Cover the sweet potatoes and lower heat to medium. Cook until just tender, about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice if needed to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Remove the lid and lower heat to medium-low. Add the sliced pasilla pepper and onion, then season with chipotle powder, paprika, cayenne, chili powder, and cumin. Add about 1 tsp of olive oil and stir to combine. Cook until peppers and onions are softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Next, stir in the black beans. Cook for just 2 to 3 more minutes until the beans are warmed through, then remove from heat. Season with juice from half a lime and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
Season brown rice with juice from half a lime and chopped cilantro, stirring to combine.
Serve a scoop of rice topped with the sweet potato, black bean, and veggies. Top with slices of fresh avocado and crumbled goat cheese and enjoy!
