This loaded fajita sweet potatoes recipe has all your favorite fajita fixings. Don’t you get tired of always eating sweet potatoes the same old way?

I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes but can only stand to eat so many of them loaded with butter and brown sugar. I love making spicy sweet potato fries which gave me the idea for these loaded fajita sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes really hold up to bold flavors like chili powder, cumin and smoked paprika.

We have been doing a lot of meatless meals lately and this recipe is a keeper. It’s perfect for meatless Monday. If you don’t want to go meatless, you can easily adjust this recipe to add some chicken or steak.

Simple meals like this are great for busy weeknights. Most grocery stores sell peppers and and onions already sliced which will bring this meal together even quicker.
