Prep time: 15 mins
1. Preheat the oven to 220C / gas mark 7 and boil a kettle.
2. Leaving the skin on, cut the sweet potato into thin fries and place on a large baking tray lined with parchment. Toss with ½ tbsp oil, sea salt, black pepper and ⅓ of the smoked paprika until well coated. Place in the oven for 20-25 mins until turning golden, turning halfway through.
3. Peel and dice the red onion and grate the garlic. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
4. Heat a large pan with 1 tbsp oil on a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 mins. While the onion is cooking, finely dice the red pepper and yellow pepper. Add the peppers, garlic, ground cumin and the remaining smoked paprika to the pan and cook for 2 mins.
5. Then add the kidney beans, chopped tomatoes, 200ml boiling water and the chipotle paste. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 mins.
6. To make a guacamole: cut the avocados in half and remove the stones, spoon out the avocado flesh and place into a bowl, then mash with a fork and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roughly chop the coriander leaves. Add a squeeze of lime juice to the avocado (to taste) and a sprinkle of coriander. Stir the remaining coriander through the Mexican bean chilli.
7. To serve, spoon the Mexican chilli into four warm bowls and top with the guacamole. Serve alongside the sweet potato fries.
