Fajitas

Cultural Context

Fajitas originated in the Tex-Mex cuisine of the United States, influenced by Mexican cooking traditions. They typically feature grilled meat served with sautéed peppers and onions, wrapped in tortillas. The dish has become popular for its vibrant flavors and communal style of serving, allowing diners to assemble their own tacos at the table.

1

Season the beef flank steak with adobo seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.

2

Sprinkle olive oil over the seasoned beef.

3

Heat the grill or skillet and add some olive oil.

4

Cook the beef according to your preference, ensuring not to overcook it to keep it tender.

5

Move the beef to the corner of the grill or skillet and add the sliced onions and bell peppers.

6

Cook the vegetables in two batches, adding more olive oil if necessary.

7

Cook the first batch of vegetables until soft, and leave the second batch a little crunchy as preferred.

8

Once the vegetables are cooked, place them beside the beef in the skillet.

9

Warm the flour tortillas in the same skillet, flipping them after one minute to heat both sides.

10

Serve the beef and vegetables with the tortillas on the side, and optionally add tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, guacamole, or salsa.
