Fajitas are served on a sizzling platter with warm flour tortillas and a heaping of fresh condiments – pico de gallo, guacamole and shredded cheese – perfect for making your own tacos. With the increase in fajita's popularity it became less likely that skirt steak was the only cut of meat used to make fajitas. Soon restaurants started substituting other cuts of meat which eventually led to the addition of other grilled meat like chicken, pork and shrimp.
For the best flavor serve with cooked onions and green peppers (add right into the serving pan). Use a small preheated cast-iron skillet to serve and just before taking to the table squeeze fresh lemon juice over the meat (this gives the sizzle). For a healthier alternative serve with whole wheat tortillas, low fat sour cream, reduced fat Mexican shredded cheese, fresh pico de gallo and Guacamole.
