Method

1
For the salsa verde, add the garlic, chopped herbs and capers to a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Add the mustard, olive oil and vinegar and taste, adjusting with a little more vinegar if needed. It should taste fresh with a balance of sharpness. Set aside.
2
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/ gas 6. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray and cook for 30–35 mins or until soft in the middle.
3
Place two-thirds of the salsa verde into a large baking dish to lightly cover the bottom. Mix the remaining ingredients for the enchiladas, except the tortillas, in a mixing bowl and set aside.
4
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly then scoop out the inside with a spoon and add this to the bowl. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
5
To assemble enchiladas, warm the tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave (don’t let them go hard) or in a low oven. In each one place 2tbsp of filling down the middle. Bring each side up to wrap the filling, then place on top of the salsa verde in your baking dish, seam-side down. Repeat for all tortillas.
6
Top with the remaining salsa verde. Bake for 25–35 mins until the sauce is bubbling. Top with the chopped red onion, soured cream, fresh coriander leaves and some sliced red chilli.
