Notes

  • Use a cast iron pan if you have one: This will help produce that slightly charred flavor, along with using a large enough skillet (if it’s too small, the veggies will steam).
  • Use fresh vegetables: While it’s technically possible to use frozen peppers and onions, they become very soft and won’t caramelize in the same way.
  • Don’t stir too much: Letting the fajita vegetables sit in the pan for a bit will encourage charring and caramelization.
  • If you can’t find Mexican oregano: Try combining equal parts Italian oregano and marjoram with just a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Alternatively, you could use fajita seasoning, if preferred.
