Fajita Veggies Recipe (Chipotle Copycat)

You can quickly make grilled fajita vegetables similar to those at Chipotle. They are bright, crisp-tender, and healthy, and only take a few minutes to prepare. Feel free to include any additional vegetables you like.

Here’s a tip: you can include grilled fajita vegetables with your Chipotle order whenever you want, and it won’t cost you anything extra.

You can easily make a big batch in under 15 minutes. Feel free to toss in other quick-cooking vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, or tomatoes whenever you like—without paying extra

With only five ingredients, including olive oil and salt, this simple recipe is so delicious that you won’t feel the need to add anything else.

What are the Fajita Veggies at Chipotle?

The grilled vegetables at Chipotle feature a mix of bell peppers and onions, flavored with salt and oregano.

Feel free to pick any color of bell peppers—red, orange, yellow, or green—and any variety of onion, whether red, yellow, or white. You can also use fresh or dried oregano, but Chipotle typically uses dried Mexican oregano.

How do you sauté vegetables for fajitas?

Warm up the pan until the oil glistens and starts to smoke slightly. Add the vegetables and spices, then stir them quickly for about 5 to 7 minutes. They should stay crisp-tender and retain their bright, fresh color.

While Chipotle opts for rice bran oil, you can choose olive oil or any other oil you like, and then toss the ingredients with finely chopped oregano, whether fresh or dried.

How to Cut Bell Peppers

Chances are, you’re familiar with how to cut bell peppers, but if you’re curious about my method, this is how I do it:

1. Slice off the top and bottom
2. Cut the pepper in half
3. Remove the seeds
4. Cut it into neat little strips.

I find this very therapeutic.
