Fajita Vegetables
For this recipe, I usually stick with traditional fajita vegetables:
- Onions
- Bell peppers (red, yellow, and/or orange)
- Mushrooms
Feel free to customize the veggies to your liking, adding in your favorite options and excluding any that you don’t enjoy.
Sauté the vegetables in a skillet, cooking them in batches for maximum color and flavor.
Additional Fajita Ingredients
Once the vegetables are tender, add in:
- Cooked chicken
- Cilantro
- Lime juice
- Seasonings: cumin, chili powder, smoked or regular paprika, garlic
Pro Tip: For a meatless version, substitute the chicken with rinsed and drained beans or extra veggies.
Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
The base of this recipe is sweet potatoes. Cook them on a greased and foil-lined pan at 375°F for about an hour. While they bake, prepare the fajita topping.
After baking, cut the sweet potatoes in half, lightly mash the flesh with a fork, and season with salt and pepper.
Top each sweet potato half with a generous portion of the chicken fajita mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Broil the loaded chicken fajita sweet potatoes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
These flavorful sweet potato dishes are satisfying and can be enjoyed as is or topped with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or salsa.
