Ingredients
- 700g sweet potato, chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- One red pepper, chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Four spring onions, sliced, white and green parts separated.
- One large avocado
- One lime, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander
- Two garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 x 396g pack tofu
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- Four sizeable soft flour tortillas
- 50g baby spinach leaves
- 100g dairy-free cheese, grated
Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, and fan 200°C.
- Put the sweet potato in a large pan and cover it with water.
- Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 mins.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and toss in a roasting tray with the paprika, red pepper, and 1 tbsp oil to coat.
- Roast for 20 mins, then mix the white parts of the spring onion into the tray and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, roughly mash the avocado flesh with most of the lime juice in a bowl, keeping the texture chunky.
- Mix the tomatoes in another bowl with the coriander and remaining lime juice.
- To make the scrambled tofu, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the garlic and the green parts of the spring onions.
- Cook for 2 mins until softened, then add the tofu and Cajun seasoning.
- Mix well and break up the tofu as it cooks.
- Once heated through, season to taste and stir through a quarter of the roasted sweet potato and pepper.
- To serve, warm the wraps following the pack instructions.
- Spread some of the mashed avocados over each, and top with a few spinach leaves, the tofu, and sweet potato mix (you may not fit it all in).
- Finish with the tomatoes and a sprinkling of grated cheese.
- Fold up the top and bottom edges, then roll to enclose the filling fully.
- Cut in half and serve with the lime wedges and any remaining sweet potato on the side.
Tip: This makes a great sharing brunch to feed a crowd; double the quantities and let everyone assemble their burritos at the table.
