Instructions
To start off making this Curried Sweet Potato Mexican Fajita Recipe, gather all the vegetables, ensuring that they are properly cut and ready to go. Take a large mixing bowl and place the cut vegetables—sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, red onions, and white onion—into the bowl. Add the rice vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well to make sure the vegetables are evenly coated with the flavorful seasonings.
Next, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Spread the seasoned vegetables on a large oven-safe tray in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, stirring once or twice halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on the vegetables from 30 minutes onward. When you notice the vegetables becoming slightly wrinkled and caramelized, remove them from the oven. They should be tender and cooked through.
While the vegetables are roasting, warm the whole wheat flour tortillas. You can either do this in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until soft and pliable.
Once the vegetables are done and the tortillas are warm, it’s time to assemble the fajitas. Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate and spoon the roasted vegetables over the center. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh coriander on top, then add a handful of torn iceberg lettuce leaves. For the finishing touch, drizzle with either hung curd, Greek yogurt, or low-fat sour cream to bring creaminess and tang to the dish. Fold the tortilla into a wrap, enclosing the delicious filling.
Serve your Curried Sweet Potato Mexican Fajitas with a refreshing Red Wine Sangria Cocktail to complement the spices, followed by a sweet and hearty Homemade Apple Pie with Whole Wheat Pie Crust for dessert.
Enjoy this flavorful, healthy, and easy-to-make fajita recipe that’s perfect for a vegetarian dinner option, bursting with vibrant, roasted vegetables and topped with creamy feta cheese and sour cream.
