This Fajita Veggies Chipotle Copycat recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to prepare sautéed bell peppers and onions with a touch of oregano and seasoning. Perfect as a side dish or a filling for fajitas, these crisp-tender veggies bring vibrant color and smoky flavor to your meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced (green, red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 red onion, sliced

Seasoning & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice vegetables: Begin by washing and slicing the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips, ensuring even cooking and easy serving.
  2. Heat skillet and add oil: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up but not smoke.
  3. Add vegetables and seasoning: Add the sliced peppers and onions to the heated skillet. Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper, evenly coating the veggies in seasoning.
  4. Cook until crisp-tender: Sauté the vegetables for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until they reach a crisp-tender texture, meaning they are cooked through but retain some bite. Then, remove the skillet from heat.
  5. Serve warm: Serve the sautéed fajita veggies warm as a side dish or use them as a flavorful filling for tacos, fajitas, or wraps.

Notes

  • Use a mix of colorful bell peppers for visual appeal and varied sweetness.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
  • For a smoky chipotle flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder during cooking.
  • These veggies can be cooked ahead and reheated gently for meal prep.
