Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Red Onion or Sweet Onion
  • 1 Large Bell Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes Optional
  • 1 clove Fresh Garlic Optional

Equipment

  • 1 Saute Pan
  • 1 Wooden Cutting Board
  • 1 Paring Knife
  • 1 Slim Tongs

Method
 

  1. For best results, preheat a pan to medium-high heat or medium heat.
  2. Add the avocado oil to the hot pan, add sliced peppers and onions, and use slim tongs to flip the fajitas.
  3. Once the onions and peppers are caramelized and slightly tender, add a pinch of salt and serve.
    I love finishing them with a quick broil in the oven for a golden caramelized finish.
