Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Fajita
Texans would like to claim to the fajita, but history says
that the Mexican people who worked in Texas invented the Fajita in early
1900's.
On the Texan ranches when the cowboys were rounding up the cows, the cows were killed to feed the workers and the family who owned the ranch. The parts of the cow that were not used such as the hide, the head and other waste parts of the cow were given to the Mexican workers as part of their pay. As these parts of the cow didn't have to best taste the workers added different spices and ingredients such as peppers and other stuff were added to add more of a taste.
The fajita began coming popular throughout Texas, many restaurants around Texas began serving the fajita as a main course. In Northern America, the word fajita was known a cut of meat until the 1990s. The meaning of the word fajita changed because Mexican restaurants started using the word fajita as the name of the dish in their marketing. Since then the fajita has become very popular internationally, with many restaurants and companies promoting the food.
Since the fajita was first created in the 1920's the recipe has changed significantly and there is many variations of the fajita. The fajita was originally made using waste meat from a cow but now the fajita uses the best parts of the meal as the prices have changed and the best parts of the cow are now affordable
There is many ways to cook a fajita but to me there is a clear winner, that is the Old el Paso fajita kits it is worth a look https://www.oldelpaso.co.uk/mexican-recipes/roasted-tomato-pepper-fajitas
