Recipe
4 oz. (115g) plant based cheddar cheese, shredded
10.5 oz. (300g) sweet potato, cooked & mashed (about 2 small sweet potatoes)
10.5 oz. (300g) canned black beans, drained
8 gluten free tortillas (we like Siete)
8 tbsp. Coconut yogurt, to serve
1 avocado, sliced, to serve
8 tbsp. salsa, to serve
How to Prepare
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, mashed sweet potato and black beans.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the pan, warming for 20-30 seconds on each side until soft.
Spread half of the cheese mixture over the tortilla, then top with a second tortilla.
Press gently and cook until the bottom side is golden, about 1-2 minutes. Flip over and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Repeat this process with remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice and serve with yogurt, avocado and salsa.
