Prep 10 min Cook 7 min Serves 3 Easy

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • Flour Tortillas6
  • Ground Cumin1 tsp
  • Sweet Potato3

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Char Garlic directly over a flame or in a dry comal until blackened in patches — this is where the smoke comes from.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a heavy pan and brown the Sweet Potato confidently.

  3. 3

    Add the charred, chopped Garlic with Ground Cumin and fry until the mixture darkens and smells sweet-smoky.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and a little oregano, add a splash of water, and simmer until the Sweet Potato is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Reduce until the sauce clings rather than runs, and check the salt one last time.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with tortillas, lime wedges, and crumbled cheese over the top.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the ground cumin in the oil before adding anything wet.
