Ready for the ultimate plant-based entree?

Fajita veggies at Chipotle, if you know you know. And if you don’t know, now you can try a take on them at home with just a few simple ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

6 - 8

lunchbox peppers

3 - 4

green bunching onions

3 sprigs

oregano

3 Tbsp

vegetable oil (extra virgin olive oil works great)

pinch

salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1

Start by quartering the Lunchbox Peppers lengthwise. Lay them skin side down and use the knife to slice away and discard the seeds (I blend them into a vinaigrette). Slice the peppers lengthwise one more time to make them into 1/8ths. Reserve in a bowl.

Step 2

Use a chef knife to cut the Green Bunching oven stalks in half lengthwise. Cut these long halves into 1” sections and add to the Lunchbox Pepper bowl.

Step 3

Rough chop the oregano and reserve it aside. You can use the stems as they are more tender when grown in the Farmstand.

Step 4

Place the cast iron pan or sauté pan on medium-high heat and add the oil.

Step 5

Heat the pan until the oil shimmers across the surface and you start to see faint whisps of smoke.

Step 6

Gently add the peppers to the pan careful of any splatters.

If you are cooking over gas flame, turn off the flame as you add to prevent flare-up. Turn it back on once you have added the mix.
Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat or until you see some caramelization start to form.

Step 8

After you see the beginnings of caramelization, flip the fajita veggies and season lightly with salt.

Step 9

Cook for one more minute then mix in the oregano.

Step 10

Remove and serve immediately!
