Air-fryer sweet potato & black bean tacos Recipe by Jamie Oliver

Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 x 400g tin of black beans
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 sweet potatoes (250g each)
  • red wine vinegar
  • olive oil
  • 4 regular flour tortillas
  • 160g watermelon
  • ½ a bunch of coriander (15g)
  • ½ a fresh red chilli
  • 1 lime
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 30g feta cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spring Onions and Beans

  • Trim and finely slice the spring onions, then remove the air fryer shelf and scatter the onions into the base of the air fryer basket. Add the beans along with half of their juice, then stir in 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Return the shelf to the basket.

Prep the Sweet Potatoes

  • Scrub the sweet potatoes clean, then cut them into 3 cm chunks. Add the sweet potato chunks to the air fryer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon each of red wine vinegar and olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning and a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Cook at 180ºC for 30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Add the tortillas during the last 2 minutes to warm them through.

Make the Watermelon Salsa

  • While the sweet potatoes and tortillas cook, peel and finely dice the watermelon. Chop the coriander stalks finely, reserving a few leaves for garnish. Deseed and finely chop the chili, then squeeze half of the lime’s juice over the mixture. Add ½ tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, toss everything together gently, and season to taste.

Assemble the Dish

  • Once the sweet potatoes and tortillas are ready, remove them from the air fryer. Carefully remove the shelf and roughly chop the coriander leaves. Add most of the coriander leaves to the beans and reserve a few for garnish. Roughly mash the beans, creating a thick, saucy consistency. Adjust the seasoning to taste, then spoon the mashed beans onto the warm tortillas.

Top and Serve

  • Layer the roasted sweet potato chunks on top of the beans, then spoon over the watermelon salsa. Crumble the feta cheese over the dish and sprinkle with the remaining coriander leaves. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh citrus.
