Key Ingredients

To make these homemade fajita veggies, you will need the following key ingredients:

Bell peppers. I like to use red, yellow, and green bell peppers for a really nice pop of color, but you can use any combination of bell peppers you like. Make sure to cut the peppers into thin strips so they cook fully without burning.
Onions. Red onions are perfect for their subtle sweetness and vibrant pop of color that pairs beautifully with brightly colored peppers. If needed, you can also use white or yellow onions.
Spices. All you need is oregano and salt. Nice and simple! The veggies have plenty of flavor all on their own, but these basic spices add a delicious boost of flavor that takes these fajita vegetables to the next level.
Olive oil. I prefer to use olive oil, but you can also use avocado oil if you prefer.

Recipe Variations

Looking for a twist? Here are some of my favorite ways to switch up this recipe:

Spice it up. If you’re a lover of spicy food, try adding chili powder, red pepper flakes, or sliced jalapenos to bring some heat to this dish.
Change up the spices. While we keep this recipe simple with oregano and salt, you can easily add different flavors to fit with a variety of dishes. Add taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder.
Swap out the veggies. Not a fan of peppers? No problem. Try swapping them out for thinly sliced zucchini, mushrooms, or just cook the onions on their own.
Add fresh herbs. To enhance the flavor of these tasty veggies, try adding freshly chopped herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil.
Make a fajita buffet. For a delicious fajita spread, pair this dish with complementary side dishes like guacamole, refried beans, and cilantro lime rice.
Add the perfect drink. When you’re cooking up a Mexican-inspired feast, it’s only fitting that you pair it with a delicious beverage. Try my Easy Mojitos or Skinny Margaritas.
Make it more filling: Add black beans or pinto beans to the veggies for a meatless taco or burrito filling. All you need is warm tortillas, salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream for a tasty meal.

How to Store Fajita Vegetables

If you’re in need of healthy meal prep recipes, this one makes a great choice! To store fajita vegetables, you will first need to let them cool down to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight storage bag or container. Once properly stored, they will keep in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

To freeze fajita vegetables, spread them out onto a baking tray and place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour. Once frozen, transfer the veggies to an airtight storage bag and freeze them for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat the fajita veggies on the stove.

Serve it with some cauliflower mashed potatoes or stuffed into sandwiches for a tasty meal the whole family will love. This beef is really special.

The idea is so simple - slow cooker beef with pepperoncinis , onions, and a touch of Italian seasoning and the outcome is better than anything you could imagine. It’s terrific on sandwiches, over rice, turned into a quick beef stew, stuffed in peppers. You get the idea. I think it would taste good in just about anything.
