Ingredients
- sweet potato1, cubed
- black beans150g
- tortilla3 small
- lime1
- corianderhandful
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Cube the sweet potato into 2cm chunks, toss with a little oil, salt and smoked paprika if you have it, and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelised at the edges.
- Warm the black beans in a small pan over low heat with a splash of water and a pinch of cumin, mashing a few lightly so they hold together.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side, or wrapped in foil in the oven for the last 5 minutes.
- Fill each tortilla with a layer of beans, then the roasted sweet potato.
- Top with fresh coriander and a good squeeze of lime — the acidity lifts the whole thing. Eat immediately.
Meal-prep note
The sweet potato and beans keep for 4 days — just warm the tortillas fresh each time.
