Venturing outside of the resort areas in Cancun, Mexico and into the street markets usually provides some interesting culinary treats such as coal-roasted yams along Puerto Juárez Avenue. Go to the Chow Kit Market in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and a prevailing enticing aroma comes from the roasted sweet potatoes served on a stick. Both of these provided inspiration for the following recipe. Combining sweet potatoes with a “spicy” dressing and roasted red peppers bends both culinary adventures in a non-traditional potato salad. Using the Quintana Roo Tequila Lime Finishing Sauce provides an easy dressing and the small amount of additional jalapeno gives it a bit of a kick.
2 large red peppers
1/3 c. Quintana Roo Tequila Lime Finishing Sauce
1 t. jalapeno pepper, finely minced
1 1/2# sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced ½” thick
5 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1/3 c roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Preheat oven 450°.
