Before you start

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer to 200C
Line a baking tray with parchment paper
Pull out a medium frying pan & a measuring jug

Get the fries on

Cut the sweet potato into fries (peel optional)
Place the fries onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil, half the paprika and a pinch of salt
Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Fry the pork

Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic
Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the pork and onion and cook for 5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper
Add the garlic, half chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat) remaining paprika. Cook for another 1 min

Simmer & finish the prep

Add the passata and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) to the pork pan and simmer for 6-8 mins, until the sauce thickens
Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander. Halve the lime. Thinly slice the avocado
Squeeze the juice from the lime over the avocado (or to taste) and sprinkle with salt

Last bits & plate up

Stir half the coriander into the chilli. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick
When everything's ready, share the chilli con carne between bowls, with the sweet potato fries and avocado alongside
Garnish with the remaining coriander, chilli flakes (for those who like a kick) and lime, cut into wedges
