📜 A Little History
Fajitas originated in Texas in the 1930s among ranch workers who grilled skirt steak over open flames. The word “fajita” comes from the Spanish word “faja,” meaning strip or belt, referring to the sliced meat.
Over time, chicken versions became popular and spread nationwide, especially through restaurants like Chili’s that made sizzling fajitas a signature menu item.
Today, fajitas are loved for their flexibility, bold seasoning, and colorful presentation.
