Fajita Sweet Potatoes 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.
