Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with If You Care Parchment Paper

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano and cayenne pepper. Transfer 1/2 the oil mixture to a large bowl and set the rest aside.
Step 3
Place the sweet potatoes in the large bowl and toss to coat in the spiced oil. Transfer to a sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in If You Care Aluminum Foil and set aside.
Step 4
Using the same large bowl, combine the peppers, mushrooms and onions with the remaining spicy oil and toss to coat.
Step 5
Carefully remove the pan from the oven, flip the sweet potatoes, and then push them to one half of the baking sheet. Add the peppers, mushrooms and onions to the other half and place the pan in the oven to roast for 20 more minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time, toss the tortillas to warm up.
Step 6
While the veggies roast, make the creamy avocado sauce by blending all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Step 7
When the veggies are tender, remove from oven, sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro and build your fajitas. Top with Creamy Avocado Sauce and serve.
