Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for veggies)
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Tortillas, for serving

How to Make Colorful Veggie Fajitas

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
4. While the potatoes are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Stir in the ground cumin and chili powder, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven. Serve the sautéed veggies alongside the crispy potatoes in warm tortillas.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispiness, soak the potato strips in water for 30 minutes before baking. This helps remove excess starch.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for more variety.
• Serve with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese for added flavor.

Easy Variations

• For a protein boost, add black beans or grilled chicken to your fajitas.
• Switch up the spices with taco seasoning for a different flavor profile.
• Use corn tortillas instead of flour for a gluten-free option.

What to Serve With It

• A side of Mexican rice for a heartier meal.
• Fresh avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess.
• A simple green salad with lime vinaigrette.
• Refried beans for extra protein.
