• Toss the sweet potato in a roasting tin in enough oil to coat. Season. Roast for 10 mins. Toss the sweetcorn and tomatoes with the sweet potato. Add chilli, to your taste for heat. Roast for 15 mins more.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan. Fry the remaining onion on a low heat for 8 mins, stirring now and then to stop it catching. Add a splash of water if it looks like it might. Stir the garlic and dried spices into the onion. Add the black beans. Refill the bean tin a third full of water; add that. Heat the beans for 4-5 mins, stirring often. Lightly mash. Season. If needed, heat them very gently, stirring often while you continue, to dry them out a little more.

• Lay 4 tortillas on a baking tray. Rub both sides of the tortillas with oil. Bake for approx. 5 mins, until crispy. Some will puff up. Stir half the coriander into the roasted veg. Mix the tahini with the juice from ½ a lime and enough cold water to make a pourable but thick dressing. Season to taste.
• Carefully dollop the bean mash over the tortillas. Top with roasted veg, tahini dressing, marinated onion, more chilli if you like, and remaining coriander. Serve with a garnish of salad leaves.
