- 1 bell pepper (200g), any color
- 1 small onion (150g)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil, or any cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (optional)
- 9 corn tortillas
For the Cilantro Lime Crema
- 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt (I used Forager Unsweetened Plain)
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping Ideas
- Shredded cabbage
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime juice
- Avocado
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (205 C) and prepare a large baking pan lined with a silicone baking mat or baking parchment paper.
- Slice the sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onions into long thin strips and arrange them on the baking pan.
- Drizzle the avocado oil and spices over the veggies and mix them around on the pan to coat them with the seasonings.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the veggies bake, make the Cilantro Lime Crema by mixing the vegan yogurt, garlic powder, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a mini food processor. Alternatively, you can finely chop the cilantro and mix the ingredients in a bowl or jar.
- Warm the tortillas on the stovetop, or as desired and prepare any toppings for the fajitas.
- Once the veggies are roasted and tender, remove from the oven and use a spatula to mix them around on the pan to avoid sticking.
- Fill the warm tortillas with the roasted fajita veggies, top with desired toppings, and drizzle with Cilantro Lime Crema.
Notes
- Storage: Keep roasted fajita veggies, tortillas, and toppings in separate containers for up to 5 days in the fridge.
- Reheating: Add the roasted fajita veggies to a microwave safe bowl with a 1/2 teaspoon of water and heat in 30 second increments until desired temperature is reached.
