Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin strips
- 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced into thin strips
- 1 large onion, sliced into thin strips
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
To Serve
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly and quickly.
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips. Slice the bell peppers and onion into similar thin strips to ensure even cooking.
- Toss with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the fajita seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated with the spices and oil.
- Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the edges are slightly crispy.
- Warm the tortillas: While the vegetables roast, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the roasted sweet potato fajita mixture into the warm tortillas. Add any desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

- Adjust fajita seasoning to taste depending on your spice preference.
