Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F
Slice the sweet potatoes in half and roast them in the oven until tender (about 45 mins).
Finely slice the onion and chop the garlic.
Heat up a pan and add the olive oil and onion.
Cook for 3 minutes then add the garlic.
Fry for another minute or so then add the tomatoes and leave to simmer on a low-medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and oregano about halfway through.
Drain and rinse the black beans and add to pan, simmering for another ten minutes.
Peel, de-stone and thinly slice the avocado.
The sweet potatoes should be ready now too – it’s time to make our burritos!
Scoop out the sweet potato “mash” from their peels, take out a wrap, layer some of the potato and spread with a fork.
Add the tomato/bean mix and avocado slices down the middle of the burrito.
Now garnish with avocado slices, sour cream, lime juice and cilantro.
Roll, and cook in a large pan for a 30 secs – 1 minute on each side. Tip for families: use the oven instead. Place the burrito in the oven for 3-5 minutes on 200°C/400°F.
Repeat with each burrito.
When they’re done, you’re done!

- 4 slices bread (whole wheat)
- ½ ball mozzarella (cottage cheese also goes great!)
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 2 tbsp olives
- 2 tsp capers (can be made without if unavailable)
- ¼ cup basil, fresh (dried basil is also fine, ¼ cup = 1 tsp)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Roughly chop the cheese, tomatoes, olives and capers and throw into a mixing bowl.
Add the herbs, salt and pepper.
Use a fork to mix up and mash the ingredients a little – not too much, we just want to get those flavours circulating.
If you’re using very soft bread then pop it in the toaster/pan without oil for a minute or so – not to toast it, just to harden the outside. If the bread is already a hard type, we’re good to go.
Spread the mix on the bottom slices, add the other slices on top. Squish down.
Now comes the oil part – if you’re exercising a lot you’re gonna need all that extra fatty olive oil. If you’re not, that’s your call. Either way, it tastes great.
Heat the pan (with or without the oil) and put the sandwich in. Put a lid on the pan if you have one, don’t stress too much if you don’t. Cook for 3 or 4 mins, squishing down with a spatula occasionally, then flip and cook the other side the same way. Both outsides should be nice and crispy, the insides melting together.
Awesome. What a sandwich.

Ingredients:
- 3–4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 pound (225g) small Yukon potatoes, halved
- 1 15-ounce can (425g) chickpeas, drained and dried
- 2 teaspoon ground paprika, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced or diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 28-ounces cans (800g each) whole plum tomatoes, chopped + 1/3 of the juice for each can
- 1 teaspoon harissa sauce
- 5.3 ounces (150g) fresh baby spinach (optional)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 4 to 6 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup (5 ounces/140g) feta cheese, crumbled
- Chopped cilantro, for serving (or parsley)
Directions:
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add halved potatoes and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Add drained and dried chickpeas and cook for 2 additional minutes, shaking the pan regularly. Stir in half of the paprika, half of the chili powder and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a clean plate and wipe up the skillet with paper towel to re-use it.
- Heat the remaining olive oil, then add onions and bell pepper. Cook gently until very soft, about 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and cook until tender. Stir in cumin, the remaining paprika and chili powder.
- Add the tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with 1/3 of the sauce or each can, and season with salt and pepper. When the sauce is hot, add baby spinach if using, until wilted, then place potatoes back and let simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Using the back of a spoon, create 4 to 6 evenly spaced wells for the eggs, then carefully crack 1 egg into each, keeping the yolks intact.
- Sprinkle chickpeas and crumbled feta on top, then transfer skillet to the oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, sesame seeds and serve with crusty bread or pita bread alongside, if desired.
