Step 2 Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the peppers and onions. Season with half the fajita seasoning. Cook for 4-6 minutes (longer for softer veggies), stirring as needed until the veggies are tender-crisp and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
