Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato (washed)
• ½ avocado
• ¼ onion (finely chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (crushed)
• ½ red chilli (deseeded and finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp. tomatoes (chopped)
• Handful coriander (chopped)

• 1 sweet potato (washed)
• 1 tin tuna
• 1 heaped tbsp. mayonnaise
• A squeeze of lemon juice
• 1 tsp. chilli flakes
• ¼ onion (finely chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (crushed)
• ¼ cucumber (finely chopped)

• 1 sweet potato (washed)
• 1 tsp. coconut oil
• 100g chicken breast (thinly sliced)
• ½ onion (thinly sliced)
• ½ pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 heaped tbsp. fajita seasoning

• Grated cheddar
• Chopped coriander
• Spring onions (chopped)
• Soured cream

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.

2. Prick your sweet potato with a fork all over and then bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, create one of the three fillings:

4. For the guacamole: place the avocado, onion, garlic, chilli, tomatoes, and coriander in a bowl and use a fork to mash it together into a smooth guac.

5. For the tuna mayo: add the tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chilli flakes, onion, garlic, and cucumber to a bowl and mix together well.

6. For the fajita chicken: heat the coconut oil in a frying pan, add the chicken breast strips and cook for 5-10 minutes. Then add the onion, pepper, and fajita seasoning and cook for another few minutes, making sure the chicken is completely cooked through with no pink in the middle.

7. Once the sweet potato is baked, remove from oven, allow to cool and then slice the end off and down the centre to open up.

8. Now, stuff it with your filling of choice! Add any extra toppings – Niall’s gone for a generous amount of grated cheese on the tuna, and an extra dollop of sour cream on the other two.
