When you ask for the “Vegetarian” option at Chipotle Mexican Grill, you get these delicious Fajita Veggies by default. However, you can actually add these for free to any variety of dish you choose at Chipotle.
It is also super simple to make this dish at home! Just roast a few onions and peppers in olive oil with salt and oregano and ta da! You are done.
If you choose, you could add additional vegetables and/or Mexican flavors to these Fajitas. However, this version is similar to the one they serve at Chipotle and so delicious. 🙂

Notes
- I used red onions and green peppers. That is what they typically use at Chipotle. However, any color onions or peppers would work just as well.
- Mexican oregano works best for this Mexican dish. However, Italian oregano would work fine.
- You could use dried or fresh herbs for this dish. Tip: always crush dried herbs between your fingers before you add them to a dish.
- This recipe is inspired by Chipotle Mexican Grill, but it is not identical and is my own version. I hope you love it!
- Vegan Option: This dish is Vegan. 🙂
