CHEF'S KNIFE TIP:
When slicing the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and yellow squash for fajitas, aim for uniformity in thickness to ensure even cooking on the grill. Consistent slices not only cook evenly but also make for a visually appealing presentation in your fajitas. Using a sharp chef's knife helps achieve precise cuts, making the preparation process smoother and more efficient.
