Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Tip the sweet potatoes, peppers and onions onto a baking tray. Drizzle with 1½ tbsp oil and 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, toss to coat, then roast for 20-25 mins until tender and lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, blitz the tomatoes, chilli, garlic and 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning. Pour into a small saucepan and simmer over a medium heat for 5 mins until thickened slightly.
- Mix the roasted veg in a bowl with the chopped coriander and half the tomato sauce. Spoon onto the tortilla wraps in a line, then roll up like a fat cigar. Transfer to a greased baking dish about 30 x 20cm (ensure that it’s freezer-safe if you’re planning to freeze) in a single layer and pour over the remaining sauce. Scatter with cheese; bake for 10-15 mins until hot and bubbling.
- Mix the lemon juice with the remaining ½ tbsp olive oil. Toss through the salad and serve with the enchiladas and coriander leaves.
