Frontera Grilled Onions and Peppers

Grilled onions and peppers are traditional with beef or chicken fajitas. These veggies also may be cooked in a skillet on the stove. Besides fajitas, this side goes great with any grilled beef or chicken, Grilled Quail (here), or Rockport Shrimp (here).

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups thinly sliced onions

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the onions, bell peppers, and Seasoning Blend; cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onion and peppers are tender and brown at the edges.

Cover and set aside off the heat for 5 minutes, then serve.

To roast garlic

Preheat small heavy skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and cook, turning frequently, until brown, about 5 minutes. Turn out of the skillet and let cool.
