Fajita Vegetables
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
- 1 medium onion, sliced into slivers
|
|
- 3 bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, green, or orange), sliced into strips
|
|
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
|
|
- Juice of 1/2 lime, plus extra for serving
|
|
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
|
|
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
1. Slice the **onion** into slivers and the **bell peppers** into thin strips.
|
|
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon **olive oil**, **lime juice**, **chili powder**, **smoked paprika**, **onion powder**, **black pepper**, **cumin**, and 1/2 teaspoon **salt**.
|
|
3. Toss the sliced **peppers** and **onions** with the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
|
|
4. Heat 2 tablespoons **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
|
|
5. Add the **onions** first and cook 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
|
|
6. Add the **peppers** along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon **salt**. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp with some char on the edges.
|
|
7. Squeeze additional **lime juice** over the top and serve hot.
|
|
|

## Notes
|
|
### Tips
|
|
- **Tender-crisp is the goal**: don't overcook — the peppers should still have a bite.
|
|
- **Hot pan, hot oil**: a ripping-hot skillet gives the char marks that make fajitas taste like fajitas.
