Method
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 7, 180C, fan 200C. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp salt. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and lightly coat each with 1 tsp of the spice mixture. Wrap each potato individually in foil and place on a baking tray. Roast for 45 mins-1 hr until tender when pierced with a knife.
- Meanwhile, prepare the black beans. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the onion, garlic, green chilli and red pepper. Fry for 3-4 mins until softened then add the taco seasoning and fry for 1 min. Tip in the tinned black beans and coconut milk, plus ½ a tin of water, then stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer over a medium heat for 15 mins. Season to taste, then simmer over a low-medium heat for a further 20-30 mins until the mixture has thickened. Stir through the coriander, then remove from heat.
- For the pineapple salsa, mix together the pineapple, Scotch bonnet, onion and lime juice in a bowl.
- Mix together the ingredients for the lime yogurt in a bowl.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, slice into them vertically. To each potato, add a sprinkle of vegan cheese-alternative, if using, some black beans, more cheese-alternative and some pineapple Scotch bonnet salsa. Serve with the lime yogurt and lime wedges alongside. Garnish with coriander, pickled red onions and hot sauce, if you like.
