Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rub the sweet potato wedges with 1 tbsp oil, season and bake for 20 mins, or until tender but slightly crisp at the edges. Cover to keep warm.
step 2

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, then briefly fry the garlic and most of the onion. Add the chicken and fry for another 7-10 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the vinegar, honey and black beans and stir to combine, then cook for 2 mins. Add the rice from the pouch, breaking it up as you stir, and warm everything through for 5 mins.
step 3

Divide the rice mixture between two shallow bowls. Combine the tomato, remaining onion, the lime juice and zest and the coriander. Arrange half of the avocado over each bowl along with half of the sweet potato wedges. Spoon on some of the salsa and top with some tortilla strips. Serve with hot sauce and lime wedges, if you like.
