🍳 How to Make Fajita-Spiced Loaded Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan. Scrub the sweet potatoes, prick them several times and rub with a little oil.
2. Bake directly on a tray for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until completely tender when pierced.
3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Cook the onion and pepper for 6–8 minutes until soft.
4. Add the Fajita Seasoning and stir for 30 seconds. Add the beans, sweetcorn and tomatoes, then simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened. Season to taste.
5. Split the baked potatoes and fluff the centres with a fork. Spoon over the filling and scatter with cheese.
6. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted. Finish with yoghurt or soured cream.

🥑 Serving Suggestions

Serve with shredded lettuce, avocado and lime. For a vegan version, omit the dairy and use a plant-based yoghurt and melting cheese.

✨ Why This Recipe Works

Sweet potato balances the warm smoky seasoning, while black beans add protein and texture. Simmering the filling until thick prevents the potatoes becoming watery and keeps every spoonful full of flavour.
