What it is
This is a pre-cut mix of vegetables commonly used in fajitas. It typically includes sliced bell peppers in various colors and onions. The vegetables are fresh and ready for immediate cooking. This blend offers convenience for those who want to prepare fajitas quickly without the hassle of chopping multiple ingredients.

How people cook with it
This blend is perfect for quickly preparing classic fajitas or adding a vegetable component to other dishes.
- Sizzling fajitas
- Vegetable stir-fries
- Quesadilla filling
- Taco topping
To prepare, heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil. Once hot, add the entire contents of the package. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. This usually takes about 5 to 8 minutes. You can add your preferred seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder, during the cooking process. Serve immediately with tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole vegetables, this blend is already washed and sliced, saving preparation time. The mix of pepper colors provides visual appeal and a range of subtle flavor differences. It's designed for quick cooking, ensuring a consistent texture.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in a sealed container or the original packaging in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining vegetables within a few days to maintain their freshness and quality. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent drying out.
