Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x baking tray lined with baking paper
- 1x large non-stick frying pan
- 1x mixing bowl
Pop the sweet potatoes in the oven
- Heat your oven to 240ºC/fan 220ºC/gas 9/air fryer 200ºC.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 2cm cubes. Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper (or into the air-fryer basket), lightly season and spritz with cooking spray. Roast for 25-30 mins (air-fry for 18-20 mins).
Sizzle the tofu
- Meanwhile, drain the tofu, pat dry with kitchen roll and cut into 2cm cubes.
- Put a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Tip in the tofu, spritz with cooking spray and lightly season to taste with salt. Cook for 5 mins, turning occasionally, until golden.
Spice things up!
- At the same time, peel and thinly slice the onions, and deseed and thinly slice the peppers.
- Add the onions and peppers to the pan, tip in the spice mix and cook for 8-10 mins.
- Drain and rinse the beans, then add them to the pan along with 100ml water (200ml for 4 portions) and cook for 5-7 mins, until the sauce just coats the beans.
Mix your salsa
- While everything cooks, finely chop the coriander, and roughly chop the tomatoes.
- Combine the coriander and tomatoes in a small bowl, then squeeze in the lime juice (to taste).
Bring everything together
- Trim the lettuces and carefully separate the leaves.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves in a bowl, then add the tofu fajita mix, salsa and roasted sweet potatoes.
