Method

Wrap sweet potatoes in foil, put in coals of a fire and cook for 1 hour (or bake in oven at 180°C fan-forced or 200°C conventional for 1 hour).

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook onion, celery and garlic in half of the olive oil, stirring, 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Add mince and remaining olive oil, and cook for 5 minutes until browned.

Return vegies to pan, add tomatoes, herbs, spices, sugar and vinegar. Cook 15-20 minutes. Season generously, then stir in bean mix.

Remove foil, then split sweet potatoes lengthways. Top with beef chilli, sour cream, coriander, shallots and onion. Serve with lime wedges.
