Mixing smoked sausage with a fajita recipe ended up being a great last-minute dinner idea. The flavor was really intense. The dish was all gone in no time.

We love fajitas and smoked sausage, so combining them into one sandwich is a big win for us. The savory sausage with the sweet caramelized onions and bell peppers coated in fajita seasonings is a wonderful bite.

How To Make sausage, onion and pepper fajita sandwich

1
Heat olive oil in pan.

2
Slice up onions and peppers into thin strips. Add to pan and saute until tender. Stir every few minutes.
3
Slice sausage into smaller pieces about 3 or 4 inches long. If the sausage is sliced julienne style, it is easier to eat out of the bun later. Add to saute pan.
4
Chop chives and add to the pan.
5
Add water and fajita seasoning to the pan. Stir well. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.
6
Chop spinach and add to the pan. At this point, you will see if you need more water. It is good to have water simmering at the bottom of the pan. Add more water if needed. Then add the corn starch or flour. Mix well to form a thick sauce. Add more water/flour/corn starch, if needed. Put the cover back on and simmer for 5 more minutes.
7
I like to arrange my bread rolls on top of the pan cover to warm them up that way. After the last 5 minutes simmer, the dish is done. Let sit for a few minutes and serve on warm bread.
