These grilled Chili Lime Veggie Fajitas make Summer cooking a breeze! Throw together your favorite farmer’s market veggies on the grill + enjoy!
With the Summer heat quickly approaching, that means one thing: it’s grill time! We love cooking with our grill during the Summer so we don’t heat up our already toasty home (central AC, some day you will be mine!) Especially fresh vegetables and corn and the like from our local farm stands. It’s so nice to grill out, hang out in the backyard and then enjoy a delicious meal as the sun is setting.
One of my favorite meals to make during the Summer is veggie fajitas though. Specifically, these chili lime veggie fajitas. I love getting the peppers, potatoes, zucchini and onions at the local farmer’s market or farm stands to cook for it because they taste SO much better. Add in a little bit of chili lime seasoning and it’s kind of like going back to Mexico. Just not on a beach. Or on a tropical island. Or enjoying some fruity drinks. Okay, so it’s nothing like going back to Mexico. It’s just really good food!
These chili lime veggie fajitas are one of my absolute favorite meals to make after a long day because of how filling they are without being heavy. I loathe eating way too much on hot, muggy days so this is my kind of dish. Especially when you add some fresh salsa and guacamole!
One thing I will say about this recipe: the sweet potatoes are a must. It sounds kinda weird and like they don’t belong, but they are SO good. A few years ago, I tried them in a fajita dish at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and now fajitas are never made without them at home. There is something about the taste of them that just kicks the fajita flavor up like 10 notches!
