Description
This fajita potato is quick, easy, and yummy. A perfect weeknight meal. The perfectly cooked potato is topped with shredded cheese, chicken, fajita peppers and onions, and a spicy adobo sauce.
Ingredients
- FOR THE POTATOES:
- 4 whole Baking Potatoes
- Canola Or Vegetable Oil, For Coating Potatoes
- Kosher Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Onion, Sliced
- 1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Sliced
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Fajita Seasoning
- ¼ cups Water
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Etc.)
- 2 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken
- Green Onions, For Garnish
- Cilantro For Garnish
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 6 ounces, weight Fat Free Greek Yogurt, Plain
- ½ teaspoons Adobo Sauce (more To Taste)
- ½ whole Adobo Pepper, Chopped
- ½ Lime, Juiced
- Salt To Taste
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato about 5 to 8 times with a fork. Toss the potatoes with canola or vegetable oil in a large bowl until they have a light coating of oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack. Bake for 1 hour, or until the skin is crisp and the potato is soft when tested with a knife.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and peppers. Sauté until tender and browned. Add the fajita seasoning, water, and lime juice. Sauté until the liquid has absorbed, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce. Combine the yogurt, adobo sauce, chopped adobo pepper, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and salt appropriately. You can add more adobo sauce if you like it extra spicy.
To serve, cut a baked potato down the center and top with the shredded cheese, chicken, pepper mixture, green onions, cilantro, and adobo sauce.

Hi Angie, I definitely think you could use sour cream in place of yogurt!

for the adobe sauce can or have you used sour cream? I have been looking for a recipe for adobe dressing, something similar to what Chili’s serves. And so far this is the closest I have found. If you could let me know about the sour cream vs. yogurt I would appreciate it. Thank you.
