Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and bake for 45 mins or until tender.
Mix the salsa ingredients in a large bowl, reserving a little of the coriander; season.
Split open the sweet potatoes, divide the salsa between them and dollop over the smashed avocado. Garnish with the remaining coriander, lime wedges and chilli (if using) to serve.
