Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large sweet potato, roasted and then skin removed
  • 1 400g can black beans, rinsed well under cold water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 corn or wholewheat tortillas
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
Directions
  1. Add red onions to to a frying pan with ¼ cup water and leave to cook for approx ten minutes. You will need to stir this every few minutes and add more water if the onions begin to stick and become dry. The water is replacing the need for oil. You will know these are ready once the onions are soft and beginning to caramalise and darken.
  2. Add sweet potato, black beans and spices to the pan with the onions. Mix well and let cook for a few minutes.
  3. Spoon ½ cup of mixture over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the top so you have a semi circle shape. Place the tortilla in a pan on a high heat and leave to grill for several minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip over and grill the other side.
  4. Chop into four pieces and top with salsa ingredients. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture.
