Fajitas are a beloved Tex-Mex dish that originated in the 1930s in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The term 'fajita' refers to the cut of meat used, traditionally skirt steak. However, over the years, chicken and vegetables have become popular alternatives. The dish is known for its vibrant presentation, with sizzling meat and colorful vegetables served on a hot skillet, creating an enticing aroma and a fun dining experience. Fajitas are typically served with warm tortillas, allowing diners to create their own wraps with a variety of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and fresh salsa. This flexibility makes fajitas a popular choice for casual gatherings and parties. The preparation is relatively simple, making it an excellent option for weeknight dinners or festive occasions. A tip for perfect fajitas is to marinate the chicken or beef for at least an hour to enhance the flavor.
