While kumara and chicken are cooking, prepare the salad slaw. In a large bowl whisk sour cream, lemon juice, mustard and tomato sauce together. Add lettuce and carrot, toss to combine.

Place all ingredients in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. Fill tortillas with chicken, salad, cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Serve kumara chips on the side.
