8. Peel the avocado, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh.
9. Mash the flesh with a fork, squeeze the juice from half the lime and mix together, then mix this with the houmous.
10. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthways and scoop out some of the flesh. Put this in with the bean mixture and stir in.
11. Fill the potatoes with the mixture, then top with the avocado houmous.
12. Top each half with an olive, drizzle with a little olive oil and serve with a lime wedge.
