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 The fajita was originally made using waste meat from a cow but now the fajita uses the best parts of the meal as the prices have changed and the best parts of the cow are now affordable

Mexicans and their food.

There is many popular types of Mexican food Fajitas, Tacos, Burrito and Guacamole. One thing most if not all these dishes have in common is that their original recipe is spicy. Mexican food was first discovered in the 16th century when the Spanish invaded the Aztec empire. Mexican dishes have many ingredients in common, the main ingredients used in most Mexican dishes are corn, beans, avocados, tomatoes, chili peppers and rice. Chili peppers play a large part in Mexican food. Chili's and salt were so important to the people of  Mexico that during special religious fasts they could eat them. Most of the meats eaten today with Mexican food was added by the Spanish when they took over the Aztec empire. Today, much traditional Mexican food is prepared the same way but with different meats.
