Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel and cut the kumara into bite-sized chunks. Place the kumara, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on a lined oven tray. Toss to coat, then spread out evenly. Add a dash of water to the tray, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Leave the kumara unpeeled if you prefer!

2

While the kumara is roasting, cut the mini flour tortillas (see ingredients) into 2cm pieces and place on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle (or spray) with olive oil and season. In the last 5 minutes of cook time, bake the tortilla bits until golden and crispy.

3

Roughly chop the tomato. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Finely chop the coriander (reserve some leaves for garnish!). Drain and rinse the black beans.

4

SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. When the kumara has 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the black beans and sweetcorn, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

5

In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and chopped coriander. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise and a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mixed salad leaves, tomato, beans, sweetcorn and roasted kumara to the mayo dressing. Toss to coat.

6

Divide the kumara salad and crispy tortilla bits between bowls. Top with the herby sour cream. Garnish with the reserved coriander to serve. Enjoy!
