Method

Prick the sweet potato and bake at 200°C for fifty minutes, until it has slumped and the skin has started to caramelise where the juice leaks.
Warm the beans in a small pan with the cumin, a splash of water and a pinch of salt for three minutes, crushing some against the side.
Split the potato and fill it with the beans, then the salsa, the avocado in slices, the jalapeños and coriander. Lime over everything.
