Fajitas are a popular Tex-Mex cuisine consisting of grilled meats and vegetables presented taco-style with corn or flour tortillas. Pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and lime wedges are often served on the side as condiments.

The fajita traces its humble beginnings as far back as the late 1930’s in the South Texas ranch lands. It was then a common practice to give tougher cuts of meat to Hispanic ranch workers as partial compensation for their services.

These less desirable meats were often marinated in spices and tenderizers, grilled over wood flames and then rolled between warm tortillas a la taco.

Although authentic fajita is made with skirt steak, this household favorite has evolved to include pork, chicken, shrimp and other cuts of beef such as top sirloin, flank steak, and top round.

Beef Fajitas are traditionally served on sizzling metal plates to keep the meat warm and for everyone helps themselves to the grilled meat, warm tortillas, and various accompaniments.
