Ingredients
Roasted Sweet Potato
- 300 g sweet potato cubed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
Turkey & Blackbeans
- 400 g turkey cubed (either leftover turkey or fresh turkey breast– I used turkey mini fillets for these photos)
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste, or use fresh chilli if you prefer)
- 400 g tin black beans drained
- 100 g sweetcorn (serve the rest of the tin in a small bowl for people to help themselves)
- Juice of 1 lime
To serve
- 8 tortilla wraps (I used 1 pack of Wahaca yellow corn tacos - you may want 2 packs depending on appetites!)
- 100 g feta cheese crumbled
- Coriander leaves
- limes
- Leftover sweetcorn see above
- 1 pot Wahaca salsa or your favourite salsa (optional)
- Any other favourites extras such as guacamole/sour cream/etc.
Instructions
- 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.
- 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).
- Place in your pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
- 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)
- Pop the foil wrapped tacos in the oven now to warm through.
- 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.
- Serve the turkey, sweet potatoes and all the extras on the table for everyone to help themselves and make up their own tacos.
