These fajita-style veggies are the copycat version of your favorite fast casual spot. They’re perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of char, and they make a great topping for burritos or rice bowls. Now you can make these tasty fajitas at home with just a handful of ingredients and one skillet.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Green bell peppers – Green bell peppers give that signature flavor and a bit of bite. You can use red, yellow, or orange for a sweeter flavor.
  • Red onion – Red onions bring a little sweetness and a lot of color. Slice them thin so they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Olive oil – You just need a couple of tablespoons to sauté everything to perfection. Avocado also oil works if that’s your go-to.
  • Oregano – This is the secret weapon. It adds an earthy, citrusy flavor that makes these taste like they came straight off the line at your favorite bowl-and-burrito spot.
  • Salt – Just enough to bring it all together. Start small and season to taste.

How to Make Fajita-Style Peppers and Onions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for about 2 minutes
Add the green bell peppers, oregano, and a pinch of salt.
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender with a little bit of char.

How to Serve Fajita Veggies

These peppers and onions are a great way to add extra veggies to your favorite meal! Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy them:

Pro tip: Drizzle with my creamy cilantro sauce or taco sauce to take things over the top.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results (but the microwave will do in a pinch). I do not recommend freezing leftovers.
