Burrito Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
All the burrito flavour, stuffed into a sweet potato — high protein, with leftover mince for later.
🧺 Ingredients
- For the sweet potatoes: 2 sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt
- For the mince: 500g beef mince, 1 onion diced, 1 can black beans, 130g tomato paste (1 tube), smoked paprika / cumin / garlic powder (about 2 tbsp each, or to taste), salt and pepper
- For the guac: 1 ripe avocado, juice of 1/2 lime, 2 tbsp red onion finely diced, 1/2 small tomato deseeded and diced, a small handful coriander, salt
- Toppings: Mexican cheese mix, Greek yoghurt, coriander to garnish
👩🍳 Method
- Prick the sweet potatoes all over, rub with oil and salt. Air fry at 200°C for 35-40 minutes, turning once, until a knife slides in easily (drop to 180°C for another 5-10 mins if the centre is still firm).
- While they cook, brown the mince in a pan, breaking it up. Set aside, then cook the diced onion in the same pan until soft.
- Return the mince with the black beans, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir and simmer on low.
- Make the guac: mash the avocado with lime juice and salt, then fold through the onion, tomato and coriander. Adjust to taste.
- Slice each cooked sweet potato in half lengthways and open up. Spoon the mince on top, scatter with cheese and grill ~30 seconds until melted.
- Top with guacamole, a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a garnish of coriander.
