Fajita Veggies {Chipotle Copycat}
If you are a big fan of Chipotle restaurants, make your own Chipotle-style meals at home. I have you covered with many of their popular menu items like cilantro lime rice, chicken burrito bowls, guacamole, refried beans, chipotle steak, steak quesadillas, and these fajita veggies. Additionally, I even make my own flour tortillas for all my tacos, like chicken tacos, and burritos.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Oil: I prefer olive oil for sauteing vegetables. However, Chipotle states they use sunflower oil for their fajita veggies.
Vegetables: Green bell peppers and red onions are in this recipe. Feel free to use your favorite fajita vegetables, including any color of bell peppers or onions.
Seasonings: Oregano and salt are the only spices you need to bring out the flavors in the vegetables. I recommend dried oregano. If you do use fresh oregano, you will need about three times the amount as dried or 3/4 teaspoon.
Can I Add More Vegetables?
Sure! I stuck with the common fajita vegetable mix that is commonly used as well as the vegetables used at Chipotle restaurants. However, you could definitely add more variety like mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, and even jalapeno peppers, just to name a few.
Can I Make these Veggies Ahead of Time?
Yes! Easily prepare healthy and delicious fajita veggies for the week with this simple recipe. Simply cook the vegetables according to the instructions and allow them to cool before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
