How do you sautรฉ vegetables for fajitas?

Heat the pan to high heat, until the oil shimmers and almost smokes. Toss your vegetables and spices in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes. The vegetables should be tender-crisp and brightly colored.

Chipotle uses rice bran oil, but you can substitute olive oil (or whatever oil you prefer) and toss with finely chopped fresh or dried oregano.

What are the best onions for fajitas

Traditional fajita recipes call for white onions, which would imply that these are the best onions for making fajitas, and I do like to use them occasionally. However, I prefer to use yellow onions because they have a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. I also like to use red onions in my fajita recipes because they add a pop of color to the dish.

Finally, the best onion for fajitas is the one you have on hand or that is more easily accessible to you.

How to serve fajita vegetables

Fajita vegetables are extremely versatile and can be served in a variety of ways. They could be:

  • Used to top burrito bowls.
  • Tossed into burrito salads
  • Used in the preparation of a burrito. Spread a tortilla with cooked vegetables, avocado or guacamole, salsa, and chicken, then top with sour cream and serve.

Storing sautรฉed veggies

Serve the vegetables immediately or store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Can this be made ahead?

Yes! Because these sauteed peppers and onions for fajitas are able to be stored in the fridge for up to five days, they are quite easy to make ahead to be used later.
