Sweet Potato Chicken Fajitas: These spring-inspired chicken fajitas are amped up with the addition of sweet potatoes! A new twist on an old classic.

Guys, these sweet potato chicken fajitas might be my most inventive fajita dinner yet. Let’s spring into flavor with these!

So, I have a real thing for fajitas and can definitely knock down quite a few in one sitting. #talent

And when they’re packed with sweet potato fries? Yeah, these bad boys were gone in seconds. #ladylike

Now, sweet potato fries were brought to my attention by accident (or fate as some might call it). I have a real thing for fries–especially curly fries. They’re a little smokey, seasoned perfectly, and their spiral shape is just plain fun.

So, back when sweet potato fries first came onto the scene, one of my friends ordered them with their meal. Because I wasn’t paying attention, I assumed they were un-curly curly fries. Looking back, I definitely should have known something was up, but I was a total newb to the sweet potato thing.

Even though I know this story has you all on the edge of your seat with keen interest, I’ll cut to the chase: I was surprised by their flavor. I was even more surprised when someone ordered a round of cinnamon sugar ones for dessert (apparently I was the only one in the group who was unaware of this new trend–way to be on my game).

But you know what? I’m pretty glad sweet potato fries hit the trend wave the way they did, because I am a big fan of how they jazz up these fajitas. Don’t they look so classy and festive!?

Yes, yes they do.

So, let’s discuss the genius behind these fajitas: Alexia Sweet Potato Fries (with sea salt I might add). Not only are they all natural, they’re all amazing!

But really though. I love Alexia products. You know how most baked fries tend to be floppy? These are sturdy and crisp when baked! Absolute quality (insert “okay” hand emoji here). Plus, I mean, have you seen their onion ring options or even their spicy sweet potato fries?! You could totally play around with these fajitas and make them your own with one of those options too!

So let’s break these down a bit:

Step 1: Bake chicken and bell peppers in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.

Step 2: This might be the most difficult step yet: having to choose what you want in your fajitas: sweet potatoes with sea salt, spicy sweet potatoes, or crispy onion rings. I picked the sea-salted sweet potato fries for this, but feel free to mix it up!

Step 3: At 400, bake sweet potato fries for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 4: Warm tortillas and start building your fajitas.

Step 5: Top with cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or even a chipotle ranch sauce and live life large!

Ready to make these? Yeah? Hit up your local Walmart and get your bake on! Plus, be sure to check out Alexia on both Facebook and Pinterest!
