This Fajita Veggies Chipotle Copycat recipe delivers a flavorful and vibrant side dish featuring sautéed bell peppers and red onions seasoned with oregano and a touch of salt and pepper.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Seasonings and Oil

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips to ensure even cooking and that they soften nicely while retaining a crisp texture.
  2. Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up and coat the surface of the pan.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced peppers and onions to the hot skillet. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir the mixture to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  4. Cook Until Crisp-Tender: Continue cooking the vegetables for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through but still retain a pleasant crispness. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of bell pepper colors for a visually appealing dish.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more spices or chili powder for extra heat.
  • For a smoky flavor closer to chipotle seasoning, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
  • If preferred, you can cook the veggies more for softer texture or less for crunchier bites.
  • Serve alongside grilled meats, in tacos, or as a side to rice and beans.
