Chipotle Grilled Peppers and Onions (Copycat)
Chipotle Grilled Peppers and Onions, a copycat recipe for the tastiest grilled fajita veggies to ever grace your burrito bowl. Naturally vegan and gluten free.
Chipotle Grilled Peppers and Onions are the less exotic, less coveted little brother of the Chipotle Family of Ingredients.
Yes, they are delicious.
Yes, loads of people order them (in fact, you can add them for free to any item on the menu, even if you’re having meat).
But I’ve never heard anyone wandering around wondering how Chipotle makes their grilled peppers and onions.
Perhaps everyone already knows how to make these super easy strips of fajita veggie wonderment! After all, it only takes 5 ingredients.
Slice up green bell peppers and red onions. Saute with oil (Chipotle uses rice bran oil, but you can use olive or vegetable or grape seed or coconut or peanut) and toss with finely chopped fresh oregano. Yes, that’s it. In a pinch, substitute dried oregano for the fresh. It will still be delicious.
How to Cut Bell Peppers
You probably already know how to cut bell peppers, but just in case you want to see how other people do it, here’s my process. I slice off the top and bottom, cut the pepper in half, seed it, then cut it into neat little strips.
I find this very therapeutic.
Pretty easy and straightforward. Right? Right.
Hooray for more veggies!

YOU NEED TO HAVE A CHIPOTLE PARTY. INVITE ME.
You’re hilarious! It’s happening in Milwaukee TODAY or in Minneapolis July 1st – 3rd. JUST KIDDING!!! LOLZ
Chipotle adds the dried oregano the last minute or two. (I used to work there).
YES!!!!! I love getting insider tips. Thank you so much for this, Leah. :D I’ll update my recipe ASAP!
I dont see chipotle listed on the ingredients
That’s true, Julie. These are the Chipotle Restaurant copycat vegetables, not grilled vegetables with chipotles in them. So sorry about the confusion! This is the way Chipotle makes their veggies.
