Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 bell pepper any color, sliced thinly
  • 2 onion yellow or red, sliced thinly
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat your oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. 
  2. Once shimmering hot, add the bell peppers and onions to the cast iron. Leave alone for a good minute, you want them to char a bit and gain some color before moving the veggies around. Add the salt and pepper after 4 minutes.
  3. Toss the fajita veggies around occasionally, letting them become a little tender and gaining some golden brown color but do not overcook them. You should only be cooking the veggies for a total of 7-8 minutes.
  4. Remove the cooked fajita veggies from the pan onto a serving platter. Serve hot with your mains and other accoutrements.

Notes

  • If you have any leftovers, let them cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. They should keep in the refrigerator for up to four days. 
  • If you're planning to store them for longer, you can also freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to use a freezer-safe container or freezer bag, and label them with the date so you know how long they've been frozen.
  • To reheat them, you can use several different methods. No matter which method you choose, make sure to stir frequently so they heat evenly! 
  • Finally, keep in mind that each time you reheat the vegetables, you’re cooking them more. As such, try to only reheat what you need so they have a better chance of retaining their slightly tender-crisp texture.
  • Microwave: This is the quickest and easiest way to reheat your veggies. Simply transfer them to a microwave-safe dish and heat them in 30-second intervals until they're hot throughout.
  • Stovetop: If you prefer to reheat your veggies on the stovetop, place them in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook them for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're heated through.
  • Oven: For a larger batch of fajita veggies, you can reheat them in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F, and spread the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them for 10-15 minutes, or until they're hot throughout.
