Cooking Steps

Roast the Sweet Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel).
  • Add the sweet potato onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 20-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Prep the Rest
2
  • Quarter the lime.
  • Drain and rinse the beans in a sieve.
  • In a large bowl, combine a good squeeze of lime with the sugar and a drizzle of oil. Set aside for later.
Start Frying
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the beans and Central American spice mix and fry for 2-3 mins
  • Add 1 tsp sugar (per 2P), tomato paste and 150ml water (per 2P). Simmer the sauce until reduced slightly, 2-3 mins.
  • Mash a third of the beans with a potato masher or the back of a fork until the sauce has thickened. 
  • Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the chipotle paste. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the Tortillas
4
  • Lay the tortillas onto a separate lined baking tray and spoon the beans onto one-half of each one. Top with the cheese.
  • Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.
  • Rub a little oil over the top of each one, then bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 8-12 mins.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Toss the Salad
5
  • Just before serving, toss the salad leaves with a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lime juice. 
  • Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. 
Serve Up
6
  • When everything's ready, share the bean tortillas between plates. 
  • Serve the sweet potato and salad alongside.
  • Add a dollop of creme fraiche on the side for dipping.
  • Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over to finish.
