A dish found in Tex-Mex cuisine, fajitas are grilled meat served on warm tortillas, and eaten rolled taco style. Authentic fajitas are made with skirt steak, although the popular dish can be made with other cuts
of beef, chicken, seafood and vegetables. The same principles of fajita creation still apply. The meat or vegetables are often cooked and served in a sizzling skillet or platter with sautéed onion and green bell pepper. Fajitas are
served buffet style, allowing diners to top tortillas with the grilled meats and vegetables and garnish with popular condiments such as salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream.
Skirt steak can be found in most supermarkets and butcher shops. A tougher cut of meat, the steak is often pan-fried or grilled quickly over high heat, and cut across the grain to help tenderize. For fajitas, the skirt steak is sometimes
marinated, and then grilled. The steak is allowed to rest and then cut into long strips for piling onto tortillas. The skirt steak is rich in flavor, but you can certainly make fajitas with your favorite cut of steak, or other meat, vegetables
or seafood.
