Ingredients

Sweet potato150 g

Black beans, tinned and drained200 g
Drained weight.
Corn tortilla2 small, about 60 g

Red cabbage60 g
Lime juiceA good squeeze
Ground cuminA teaspoon
Smoked paprikaA teaspoon
Rapeseed oil5 g
Garlic1 clove, about 3 g
Fresh corianderA handful
SaltTo taste

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C. Cut the sweet potato into 2 cm dice, toss with the oil, cumin, smoked paprika and salt and roast for twenty-five minutes until browned at the corners.
Warm the drained beans in a small pan with the garlic, a pinch more cumin and a splash of water, then mash about half of them with a fork so the filling holds together.
Shred the cabbage finely and toss with lime and salt so it softens slightly while the potatoes finish.
Heat the tortillas in a dry pan for thirty seconds a side and fill them with beans, sweet potato, cabbage, sliced avocado and coriander.

Worth knowing

Two corn tortillas are 132 kcal between them; two flour ones would be 360. That is the whole reason for corn here.
Mashing half the beans is what stops the filling falling out of the far end.
