Ingredients you'll need
  • 2 red onion
  • 1000g sweet potatoes
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 chilli
  • A handful of coriander
  • 800g tin of red kidney beans
  • 4 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 800ml passata
  • 8 white tortillas
  • 2 avocado
From your kitchen
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
You'll need
  • Medum pan with a lid
  • Ovenproof dish
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Peel and finely chop the red onion. Put a medium pan on a medium heat and add ½ tbsp olive oil to the pan. Add a pinch of salt and cook, stirring every so often, for 5 mins till the onion starts to soften and caramelise.

  • 2.

    While the onion fries, peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Stir the sweet potatoes into the onion and fry for a further 8 mins, stirring often, till veg have softened a little.

  • 3.

    While the veg fry, peel and finely chop or grate the garlic cloves. Halve the chilli and scoop out the seeds and white pith (or leave them in for a hotter flavour). Finely chop the chilli. Finely chop the coriander stalks. Drain the kidney beans and rinse them under cold water.

  • 4.

    Stir the kidney beans into the pan and add the garlic, chilli, coriander stalks and 2 tsp Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins.

  • 5.

    Pour in the passata. Stir to mix, pop a lid on the pan and simmer for 10 mins. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.

  • 6.

    After 10 mins, check the chilli. The sweet potatoes should be tender. Take the pan off the heat, taste and add a pinch more salt if you think it needs it. Lay 1 tortilla on your work surface and spoon 2 tbsp of the kidney bean and sweet potato chilli onto one half of the tortilla. Roll it up and lay the tortilla in a small ovenproof dish. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas. Spoon the rest of the sweet potato sauce over the tortillas. Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 15 mins.

  • 7.

    While the enchiladas bake, halve the avocado and scoop out the stone. Scoop the flesh out of the skin and slice the avocado halves.

  • 8.

    When the enchiladas are bubbling and a little golden, take them out of the oven. Divide the enchiladas and their sauce between 2 warm plates and serve with avocado slices on the side, garnished with the coriander leaves.

  • Tip

    Ripe & Ready
    When you unpack your box, pop the avocado into your fruit bowl. Storing it at room temperature and with other fruit - especially bananas and kiwis - will help the avocado ripen. It's ripe when it just gives when you very gently squeeze it with your finger tips.
