• Don’t overcook the vegetables. You want them to have a bite and not be too soft so that they add a nice texture to your recipes.
• If you don’t like onion, you can leave it out. Substitute with two cloves of garlic to give the veggies some added flavor.
• If you’re using a non-stick sauté pan, you may not need as much oil as the recipe suggests. You can start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
• If you want to make the fajita veggies and reheat them later, you can do so by sautéing them in advance and storing them in the refrigerator or freezer. To reheat, place them in a pan and cook until heated through.
