Fajitas

Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese.
