Before you start

Cook sweet potato
- Wash 600 g sweet potato, then poke holes all over with a fork or sharp knife and spray with oil spray. Place the sweet potato in a microwave and cook for 7 minutes, or until tender and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly before slicing in half lengthways.
Start beef
- Peel and finely slice 1 brown onion. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Add the onion and 500 g beef mince and cook, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 4 minutes or until browned.
Finish beef
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse 400 g black beans. Add 2 tbsp Mexican seasoning and 1 tsp dried oregano to the mince mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Then add the black beans, 400 g crushed tomatoes and 1 cup frozen corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill cheese
- Preheat the oven to grill. Transfer the sweet potato, cut side up, onto the prepared oven tray. Spoon the beef mixture over top of the sweet potato then grate 1 cup cheese over the beef mixture. Grill in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
To finish
- Meanwhile, pick the leaves and roughly chop 1 bunch coriander.
To serve
- Divide the Mexican beef loaded sweet potatoes with cheese between plates. Serve with a good dollop of sour cream and garnish with the coriander.
