    The Best Chipotle Fajita Veggies

    If you are a fan of Chipotle Mexican Grill, these copycat Chipotle fajita veggies are the ultimate homemade alternative.

    Seriously, this Chipotle copycat recipe has all the same amazing flavors of the fajita veggies at Chipotle, but you can whip them up in the comfort of your own home (and for a fraction of the price!) And those sauteed peppers and onions are so tender, crisp, and tasty that you really won't believe they're not from the restaurant.

    Plus, they are super easy to make! With just 12 minutes of meal prepping and cooking time, you can make these fajita sautéed vegetables in about the same time it takes to eat them!

    Sounds great, right?

    Now, I think these fajita vegetables make the ultimate Mexican side dish cuisine, and I love to serve them with rice, these Chipotle black beans, and this Chipotle steak. But if you're looking for a healthy veggie snack, just wrap the aromatic bell pepper and onions up in soft wheat tortillas with Pico de Gallo and sour cream for the ultimate veggie fajitas!

    Ingredients

    As I mentioned above, this Chipotle copycat recipe is so easy to make. All you need is five ingredients, and you can make the perfect fajita veggies. And I can almost guarantee that you'll have most - if not all - of the ingredients at your house already since they're all kitchen/pantry staples.

    Anyway, here are all of the Chipotle fajita veggie ingredients:

    • 3 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
    • 2 large green bell peppers
    • 1 half moon sliced red onion
    • ½ tsp dried oregano
    • Salt, to taste

    So easy, right?

    Now, if you want to change up the flavor of this recipe, you can make fajita veggies spicy and more flavorful by adding all your favorite seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and fajita seasoning can all add a little heat with a dash of lime juice to balance the spice. 

    By the way, if you have any leftover bell peppers, you have to use them to make these cream cheese stuffed bell peppers next!

    How To Make Fajita Veggies

    I know I've mentioned this already, but it's worth saying again - making this fajita vegetable recipe is about as easy as it gets. I mean, it's hard to beat a recipe that requires only 5 ingredients and 4 steps, right?

    Anyway, let's not waste another second and get cooking!

    A frying pan with sliced green peppers and onions.

    Step 1: Prepare The Bell Peppers and Onions

    First, you'll need to get the peppers and onions prepared to cook. So slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips to make the perfect fajita veggies.

    Chipotle fajita veggies use sliced bell pepper and onions about 2 inches long, so try and do the same for your homemade fajita veggies. If you prefer more crunch, you can cut bell peppers and onions into thick strips but just make sure they are consistent, so all the veggies cook evenly.

    Step 2: Cook The Fajita Vegetables

    After you slice the onions and peppers, heat some oil in a large cast iron skillet or large pan over medium-high heat. A large skillet is always best because it will help your bell peppers and onions cook evenly since they'll be able to lay flat on the surface.

    Once the oil is hot, you can add the sliced peppers and onions to the cast iron pan, along with the oregano and salt to taste.

    Now cook your fajita veggies for about 6-7 minutes, occasionally tossing them so they cook evenly. Whenever the veggies are tender and crisp, you can take them out of the pan and set them aside.

    Step 3: Serve

    Finally, you can serve these fajita veggies in a burrito bowl, as a side dish with meat, or wrapped up in warm tortillas. Any way you eat them, they'll be delicious, so enjoy!

    How To Store Chipotle Fajita Veggies

    This recipe for Chipotle's fajita veggies will make about 6 servings. So there should be plenty to serve for a big family dinner, and you might even have some leftovers!

    If you do end up with leftovers, let the veggies cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container. Stored this way, they should last in the fridge for up to 7 days.

    How To Reheat Fajita Vegetables

    Whenever you're ready to enjoy the fajita bell pepper and onion again, you'll definitely want to enjoy them warm.

    So to reheat your fajita vegetables, just pop them back in the pan over medium-high heat and cook until warmed through.

    FAQs About This Chipotle Copycat Fajita Veggies Recipe

    Can I use olive oil instead of vegetable or sunflower oil?

    Yes, olive oil and sunflower oil are the perfect substitutes for the vegetable oil in these tasty fajita veggies. You can even use avocado oil or coconut oil as a neutral, high-heat option.

    Can I use Mexican oregano in these fajita veggies?

    Yes, Mexican oregano will bring a really authentic flavor to your fajita veggies, but regular oregano works just as well. It's hard to say which one Chipotle Mexican Grill uses, so either should work great to get that iconic Chipotle Mexican Grill flavor!
