Cool Facts
Sizzling strips of meat. Fajitas are cooked on a hot griddle or skillet, where thin strips of beef, chicken, or shrimp get golden and delicious alongside peppers and onions that soften and sweeten from the heat.
You build it yourself. Instead of getting a finished plate, fajitas come sizzling to your table and you wrap the hot filling in a soft flour or corn tortilla however you like, making each bite exactly how you want it.
Peppers and onions star. The colorful bell peppers and onions are sauteed until they're slightly caramelized, adding sweetness and crunch that balances perfectly with the savory grilled meat.
Mexican origin with American twist. Fajitas started in northern Mexico as 'tacos de arrachera,' but became a Tex-Mex favorite that blends Mexican and Texas cooking styles into something deliciously unique.
Toppings galore. You can load your fajita with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, refried beans, or pico de gallo to customize your perfect bite.
