Cooking Instructions and Tips

Chip, Chip, Hooray
1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Chop the white potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Sweet Potato Time
2

Meanwhile, chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender and golden, 16-18 mins. Turn halfway through.

Finish the Prep
3

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve, then pop half of them into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork.

Grate the cheese.

Flavour Town
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until starting to brown, 3-4 mins.

Stir in the tomato puree and cook for 1 min.

Stir in the black beans (whole and mashed), chipotle paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), veg stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated, 8-10 mins. 

Bake the Quesadillas
5

Once cooked, stir the roasted sweet potato through the chorizo mixture.

Lay the tortillas onto a lightly oiled baking tray and spoon the bean mixture onto one half of each one. Sprinkle over cheese. Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.

Rub a little oil over the top of each one, then bake on the top shelf until golden, 6-8 mins.

Serve Up
6

Once golden, transfer the quesadillas to your plates. 

Serve with a dollop of soured cream and the chips alongside.

Enjoy!
