Fajita Veggies

Whether you’re a Chipotle fajita veggies lover or just looking for a simple fajita veggies recipe, this nutritious meal needs to be a staple in your home!

When in Doubt –> Fajita Veggies it Out

Fajita veggies are not only delicious when served with chicken or steak fajitas, but also on their own. I love making extra fajita veggies to stuff in breakfast burritos or serve in a fajita bowl.

It’s something about peppers, onions, and fajita seasoning that can just jazz up pretty much any meal.

Today, we’re teaching you how to make perfect fajita veggies. Some even say these taste exactly like Chipotle fajita veggies (which I ALWAYS add to my chicken burrito bowl). Enjoy!

Featured Ingredients

It really only takes 5 basic ingredients to whip up fajita veggies in your own kitchen.

• Homemade Fajita Seasoning: the key to amazing fajita veggies is making your own fajita seasoning. If you’re in a pinch, you can also buy a packet in stores, but do note that the packet has additives and a thickening agent in it.
• Bell Peppers: feel free to use any color of bell pepper. We love a good rainbow so we used 3 different colors.
• Onion: any color onion works. We love the pop of color a red onion adds!
• Garlic: we’re using whole garlic cloves to really add a flavor blast.
• Avocado Oil: avocado oil is great for cooking things at a higher heat. It’s also pretty mild in flavor. Feel free to swap for olive oil.

Simple Instructions

1. Slice Veggies: use a sharp knife (or mandoline) to slice the peppers, onions, and garlic into thin strips.
2. Cook Onion and Garlic: heat avocado oil in a large skillet. When fragrant, add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Add Bell Peppers: add the bell peppers and cook for 5-6 minutes or until soft, but still crunchy.
4. Season: season with the fajita seasoning and toss.
5. Serve: serve in a tortilla, in a bowl, in a burrito, etc.
