BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH STEAK FAJITA FILLING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork all over, then rub with a little olive oil and season generously. Wrap each potato in tin foil and bake on a baking tray for 45-55 mins until soft.
• To make the marinade, put the lime juice, chilli powder, garlic powder, cumin, 1 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of seasoning in a bowl. Mix everything together, then pour half the marinade into a second bowl. Add the steak to one of the bowls and mix well. Add the onions and peppers to the other bowl and mix to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover both bowls in cling film and chill in the fridge until needed.
• When the sweet potatoes have about 20 mins left to cook, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper mixture, cook for 12-15 mins, stirring often, until they go soft and start to glisten and brown, then tip onto a plate. Wipe the pan clean with some kitchen paper, add the steak and cook for 3-5 mins, stirring often. Add the onions and peppers back to the pan for a few mins before serving, then remove from the heat and stir through most of the coriander.
• Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork. Add a good pinch of salt and the rest of the coriander.
• To serve, halve each sweet potato lengthways, mash the insides with a fork, then top with a spoonful of the steak fajita mixture and a dollop of mashed avocado. Enjoy!

• 3. Meanwhile, cut your bell pepper and onion and prepare your tortillas.
• 4. When the potatoes are almost done heat 2 tsp oil in a large cast iron or another type of heavy skillet over medium high until it just starts to smoke. Add bell pepper and onion.
• 5. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring very frequently, until done through with nice browned spots. How done is up to you.

FAJITA-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Place the sweet potatoes on the middle rack and bake until easily pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, lime zest, cilantro and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Toss the steak with the fajita seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet until very hot. Add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss and cook until browned all over, 2 more minutes. Remove the steak to a plate and discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the pan juices. Add the red onion, bell peppers and jalapeño to the skillet; season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan and toss to reheat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut a slit down the center of each potato. Open the potatoes and mash the flavored butter into the flesh with a fork. Divide the potatoes among plates and top with the steak-vegetable mixture and the other toppings. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.

• Meanwhile, warm the wraps following pack instructions. Once the veg is cooked, sprinkle with coriander, then roll up in the wraps with a dollop of soured cream, some lettuce and crumbled feta on top.
