Method

Jamie Oliver 155x255

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 180°C, fan 160°C. Scrub the sweet potatoes, prick all over with a fork, then microwave on full power (800W) for 12 mins or until soft.
  2. Peel and finely slice the garlic, then fry in a large nonstick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil until lightly golden, stirring regularly. Stir in 1 tsp of Cajun seasoning, followed 1 min later by the tomatoes, breaking them up with your spoon. Simmer for 5 mins, then season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Pour the tomato sauce into a 20cm x 30cm roasting dish, wipe out the pan, then dry-fry the corn on a high heat until charred. Trim and finely slice the spring onions, adding just the whites to the pan with 1 tsp of Cajun seasoning, and removing from the heat once lightly golden.
  4. Quarter the sweet potatoes lengthways and smash one quarter into each tortilla, spoon over the corn mix, then roll up and nestle into the sauce.
  5. Drain the beans, toss with the remaining 2 tsp of Cajun seasoning and 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar, then scatter over the tortillas, spoon over the cottage cheese, drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and bake for 30 mins, or until golden and bubbling.
  6. Finish with the reserved green spring onions, and some chilli sauce, if you like.
