- 2Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef chuck. Drain any excess fat.
- 3Once the beef has browned, add the prepared fajita seasoning and water. Stir and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Transfer the seasoned ground beef to a separate plate and set aside.
- 4In the same skillet, add the cooking oil, sliced bell peppers and sliced onion. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes. Try not to over cook the veggies. They should be slightly tender, but still crisp.
