📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Originally devised by Mexican-American ranch hands (vaqueros) as a way to make the less popular cuts of beef delicious. "Fajita" is Spanish for "little belt," referring to the strips of meat. Today it's a Tex-Mex restaurant favorite, famously brought to the table on a sizzling hot skillet.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Served sizzling on a hot skillet, with diners wrapping their own tortillas at the table.
