Fajitas originated among Mexican ranch workers in Texas, who grilled the skirt steak, an inexpensive cut, over open fire as part of their wages.
Sizzling strips of marinated beef or chicken grilled with peppers and onion, served with warm tortillas for wrapping — a lively, interactive Mexican favourite.
Marinate the meat in lime juice and fajita seasoning for at least 1 hour.
Cook the meat over high heat until charred and just cooked through, then set aside.
Stir-fry peppers and onion in the same pan until softened and lightly charred.
Return the meat to the pan, toss together, and serve sizzling hot with warm tortillas.
Cook over the highest heat your pan can handle — proper charring is central to fajitas' signature smoky flavour.
