Baked Sweet Potatoes With Steak Fajita Filling Recipes

FAJITA-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Place the sweet potatoes on the middle rack and bake until easily pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, lime zest, cilantro and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Toss the steak with the fajita seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet until very hot. Add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss and cook until browned all over, 2 more minutes. Remove the steak to a plate and discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the pan juices. Add the red onion, bell peppers and jalapeño to the skillet; season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan and toss to reheat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut a slit down the center of each potato. Open the potatoes and mash the flavored butter into the flesh with a fork. Divide the potatoes among plates and top with the steak-vegetable mixture and the other toppings. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in center position.
• Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with the tines of a fork and bake in oven, directly on rack, until soft and caramelizing, 1 1/2 hours.
• Slash the tops of potatoes open with the tip of a sharp knife and push ends of each potato toward each other to open. Divide butter, salt, and pepper among potatoes and serve.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the bottom of a glass or non-stick baking dish with olive oil, just enough to coat.
• Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into medium size pieces. Place the cut sweet potatoes in the baking dish and turn them so that they are coated with the olive oil. Sprinkle moderately with oregano, and salt and pepper (to taste).
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 60 minutes or until soft.
