Method

Based on 1 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

This step is optional! To make the baked sweet potato crisps, preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) and thinly slice the sweet potatoes into 2–3 mm rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife. Pat the slices dry, then toss them with a little olive oil, a pinch of salt (and any seasonings you like, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder or rosemary). Lay the slices in a single layer on lined baking trays, making sure they don’t overlap, and bake for 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re golden and crisp around the edges. Keep a close eye on them in the final minutes as they can burn quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp up further before serving.

Step 2

Make the dressing by combining the oil, soured cream and vinegar. Keep in the fridge.

Step 3

Put the lettuce, sweetcorn, tomatoes and bbq chicken in a lunchbox. Stir the lime juice into the avocado and put on top. Pack the dressing on the side.

Step 4

Scatter the broken taco over the salad, along with the sweet potato crisps if you have made them and serve.
