400g diced tomatoes with paste

1/4 cup chipotle in adobo sauce

400g black beans, drained, rinsed

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

Vegetable oil, to shallow-fry

1 sweet potato, peeled into ribbons

JALAPENO SALSA

1 small fresh jalapeno

2 shallots, thinly sliced

1 cup roughly chopped coriander stems and leaves

1 tsp finely grated lime zest

Method

Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan on medium. Cook onion and beef, stirring, for 8 minutes, until brown, breaking up any lumps. Add capsicum and chipotle seasoning and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes, chipotle in sauce, beans and 3/4 cup of water. Stir until combined. Simmer for 7 minutes, or until thickened. Season.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan on high. Shallow-fry sweet potato in batches for 1 minute each, until almost browned. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towel.

Sprinkle cheese over beef and place under a hot grill until just melted.

Plate up chipotle beef, sweet potato, avocado and sour cream. Drizzle with salsa and garnish with shallots and reserved jalapeno. Serve with corn chips and lime.
