Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F and wrap the tacos in foil, ready to be popped in the oven 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Place all the ingredients for the roasted sweet potato cubes in a roasting tray and mix everything together thoroughly (I find it easiest to do this with my hands).
  3. Place in your pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
  4. Ten minutes before the sweet potatoes are due to come out, fry the turkey in a tablespoon of olive oil for 3-5 mins until cooked through (if using turkey leftovers, ignore this step)
  5. Pop the foil wrapped tacos in the oven now to warm through.
  6. Next add the garlic, paprika, cumin and chilli to the turkey and fry for 2 minutes, before adding the black beans & sweetcorn and cooking for a further 3 minutes. Finally add the juice of 1 lime and stir.
  7. Serve the turkey, sweet potatoes and all the extras on the table for everyone to help themselves and make up their own tacos.
