instructions
1
Prepare & roast the sweet potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges. Place in a large bowl. Add the chile paste. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to thoroughly coat. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer, skin side down. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
2
Prepare the remaining ingredients
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Cut off and discard the stems of the sweet peppers; remove the cores. Thinly slice crosswise into rings. Roughly chop the jalapeño pepper. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much of the chopped jalapeño pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the peppers
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced sweet peppers in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Wipe out the pan.
4
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
5
Make the cheesy tortillas
Meanwhile, place the tortillas on a separate sheet pan. Evenly top with the grated cheese. Toast in the oven 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a work surface and let stand at least 2 minutes.
6
Finish & serve your dish
Slice the cooked chicken crosswise. Carefully assemble the tacos using the cheesy tortillas, sliced chicken, and cooked peppers. Serve the tacos with the roasted sweet potatoes and jalapeño mayo on the side. Garnish the tacos with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
