Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel and thinly slice onion. Slice top off green pepper; core and deseed, then cut into ½-inch-thick rings. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop garlic.
  2. Toss potatoes, onion and green pepper on a foil-lined baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, 2 tsp Fajita Spice Blend (4 tsp for 4 servings), garlic powder, a big pinch of salt and pepper. Spread veggies out in a single layer. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 25-30 minutes.
  3. Place garlic and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until softened, 20-25 seconds. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, stir in mayonnaise and remaining Fajita Spice Blend until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Optional: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Once hot, crack two eggs (four eggs for 4) into pan and cover. Fry eggs to preference. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat; cover to keep warm.
  4. Once veggies are done, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Sprinkle cheddar and pepper jack over veggies. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes. Carefully top veggies on sheet with tomato and fried eggs (if using). Drizzle with garlic mayo and serve directly from sheet for a family-style experience. Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Cook until yolks and whites are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy wedges, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.

If you don’t have a large pan, you can cook the eggs in a small nonstick skillet.

Feel free to substitute the pepper jack with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend.

FAQ

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, simply omit the fried eggs. The dish is already packed with flavor from the fajita spice and cheese.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely. Cheddar and pepper jack are recommended, but you can use any melting cheese like Monterey Jack, mozzarella or a Mexican blend.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
