Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the sweet potato cubes on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and toss to coat. Cook in the oven for 25–30 mins until tender, tossing halfway. Allow to cool slightly, then season and mash with the soft cheese.

Cook the peas in a pan of simmering water for 2–3 mins. Tip into a bowl and mash. Stir in the chopped chilli and lime juice, season to taste and set aside.

Heat 2 tsp oil in a large frying pan and cook the onions over a medium-low heat for 4 mins until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the beans and sweetcorn to the pan with a splash of water and cook for 2–3 mins. Transfer to a bowl, roughly mash and keep warm. Wipe the pan clean.

Divide equal amounts of mashed sweet potato between 4 mini wraps and spread in an even layer. Scatter over the cooked onions. Top the remaining 4 wraps with the mashed beans then place these, filling-side down, on top of the sweet potato wraps and press together.

Working in batches, cook the quesadillas in 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat for 2–3 mins on each side until golden. Cut into quarters and serve with the smashed peas and lime wedges.
