Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and sliced into thin strips (about 2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups sliced red bell pepper about 1 large pepper
- 3/4 cups sliced green bell pepper about 1/2 a large pepper
- 1 cup sliced white onion about 1/2 a large onion
- 4 ounces brown mushrooms quartered
- 1 1-ounce packet Old El Paso™ Fajita seasoning
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 8-count package Old El Paso™ Soft Tortilla Taco Boats
Optional Garnishes:
- Sliced avocado or guacamole
- chopped cilantro leaves
- lime wedges for squeezing
Instructions
- Place the sweet potato, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the fajita seasoning and oil. Pour the seasoned oil over the top of the vegetables and toss well to coat.
- Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Once the surface is very hot, add the seasoned vegetables and immediately turn the heat down to medium. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender and slightly blackened, about 6-8 minutes.
- Serve with warm Soft Tortilla Taco Boats and toppings of choice.

Notes
- If you are using a medium-sized skillet, cook the fajitas in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- For an added crunch, toast the taco boats prior to serving: Preheat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit (163° Celsius). Arrange the taco boats on a large baking sheet and lightly spritz them with cooking spray or olive oil. Bake in the heated oven for 2-3 minutes, until warm and slightly toasted.
- Store leftover Vegan Sweet Potato Fajitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. While freezing is possible, the texture of the vegetables might become softer upon thawing.
- To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. For a quick option, you can microwave them, but this might slightly alter the texture.
