  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables:

    • Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips, keeping them roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Sauté Veggies:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic (if using).
  3. Season and Cook:

    • Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender with a slight char.
  4. Add Lime Juice:

    • Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lime juice. Toss to combine.
  5. Serve:

    • Serve warm with fajitas, burritos, rice bowls, or as a side dish to any Mexican inspired meal.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best results.
  • Variations: Add sliced mushrooms or zucchini for extra veggies.
  • Pro Tip: Avoid overcooking to maintain the veggies’ vibrant color and slight crunch.
