Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and 1 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (2 tsp for 4 servings; we sent more). Season with salt and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until tender and lightly crisped, 25-30 minutes.

2
  • Zest and quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; dice a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro.

3
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine half the sliced onion, juice from half the lime, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt.

  • Microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

4
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining sliced onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5
  • While veggies cook, in a second small bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

  • In a third small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

6
  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with sweet potatoes and veggies; top with pepper jack, salsa, lime crema, and as much pickled onion as you like (draining first). Serve.
