A Note From Chris

“I’ve always loved making tacos, and this recipe is one of my favourite ways to enjoy them. Sweet potatoes, kidney beans and avocado are brought together by M&S red salsa and chimichurri, which add a lovely hit of Mexican spice. It’s all perfectly finished with a sprinkling of mature cheddar – yum!”
