Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion thinly sliced
2 bell peppers (any color) thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the pan. Cook them undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then stir fry them for 4 minutes or until they soften and get slightly charred.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the vegetables in the pan. Toss well to coat them with the seasoning.
Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are cooked to your desired softness. The longer you cook, the softer they will be.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the fajita vegetables to a serving dish.
Serve the flavorful fajita vegetables as a side dish, in fajitas or tacos, or as a burrito filling.

Notes

Feel free to mix up the vegetables or the spices to suit your tastes! Bell peppers and onions are traditional, but mushrooms, zucchini, or even carrot could work well too.
