“Grilled strips of skirt steak with sautéed onions and peppers on a tortilla—simple, built to customize.”
What the real thing tastes like
A fajita (; Spanish: [faˈxita] ), in Tex-Mex cuisine, is strips of grilled skirt steak, cooked with sauteed onions and bell peppers and served on a flour or corn tortilla. Popular alternatives to skirt steak include chicken and other cuts of beef, as well as vegetables instead of meat. Popular condiments include shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, refried beans, and diced tomatoes. "Tacos de arrachera" is applied to the northern Mexican variant of the dish.

A fajita is strips of grilled skirt steak, sautéed with onions and bell peppers, laid onto a warm flour or corn tortilla. The heat hits the meat first—charred and tender—then the vegetables soften into that steak, and you build from there: lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, whatever calls to you. It's a Tex-Mex foundation that travels well, adapting to chicken, other beef cuts, or vegetables without losing its character.
