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)

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.
