Seasonings & Fats
- 3 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Mexican Oregano

Instructions
- Prepare the skillet and ingredients: Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the sliced green peppers, white onion, and red onion along with the Mexican oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine well.
- Sauté the vegetables: Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking, allowing the vegetables to release their flavors evenly.

- Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the fajita veggies immediately as a delicious component for fajitas, tacos, or as a savory side.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of chili powder.
- Use olive oil instead of butter if you prefer a dairy-free version.
- These veggies can be cooked ahead and reheated, but are best fresh for maximum crispness.
- Feel free to add sliced mushrooms or zucchini for additional texture and flavor variety.
