Ingredients
- 3 bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil
- ½ cup fajita sauce
- 2 cups refried beans or 15-ounce can, vegetarian
For Serving (optional)
- 8 corn tortilla fajita or small size, or flour tortillas
- Jalapeño Sauce for serving, creamy
- cilantro lime sauce for serving
- avocado sauce or guacamole
- cilantro
- shredded cheese or Cotija cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Slice the red bell pepper and onions into similar sizes so they cook evenly. If you like extra caramelized onions, slice them thinner than the peppers.
- Drizzle the oil across the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add in the veggies and a pinch of salt, and toss to coat with the hot oil. Let cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring only occasionally to encourage some char.
- Gently pour in the fajita sauce and stir to coat. Allow the sauce to simmer with the veggies for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thick and coated. While the veggies cook, heat the refried beans if needed, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Once the veggies are tender and coated with the sauce, remove from heat. Assemble the fajita tacos by spreading refried beans on a warmed corn or flour tortilla, and top with veggies. Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy!
