These fajitas were gobbled up quicker than anything i’ve ever made before – that’s saying a lot because I feel like i’m ALWAYS cooking. And these make A LOT, enough to feed 4-5 people! We enjoyed them in tortillas the first day and turned them into to Chipotle-style fajitas bowls for lunch the next day and we still had some leftovers! And nope, i’m not even complaining about them. I’ll definitely be making these over and over again on repeat.
You can totally do with the regular red and green peppers if you’d like, but I love the color and the flavor that yellow and orange peppers add to this recipe. I’m definitely one of those people that eat with my eyes first. I also like to add in a BIG poblano pepper. Remove all the ribs and seeds so the spice is gone. We just want the nice smokiness of the poblano sizzled with the onions and bell peppers — the flavor is out of this world. I can’t believe I had been making fajitas without poblanos for so long before this. I almost feel like I cheated myself out of the best fajitas.
