Then, heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a little oil. Next, add your sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp. Pour the fajita skillet sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
