Fajita fajitas mixtas ein Gericht der Tex-Mex-Küche, das in der Originalversion aus gegrilltem und anschließend klein geschnittenem Rindfleisch besteht, das zusammen mit Streifen von grüner Chili auf einer Weizentortilla serviert wird. Das spanische Wort Fajita ist das Diminutiv zu Faja, was mit Gürtel übersetzt werden kann. Das Gericht stammt ursprünglich aus der texanisch-mexikanischen Grenzregion am Rio Grande und wurde von den Cowboys gegessen. Das Kronfleisch der Rinder gehörte zu den Schlachtresten, die die Viehtreiber an einem Schlachttag kostenlos erhielten.

In Restaurants mit Tex-Mex-Küche ist es heute vielfach üblich, Fajitas zusammen mit Paprikas und Zwiebeln auf einem heißen gusseisernen Teller zu servieren. Das entspricht jedoch nicht der authentischen Art, das Gericht zu servieren und zu essen. Wiley, New York City 2006, ISBN 0-471-68294-2, S. Diese Seite wurde zuletzt am 9.

Add fun to a kids’ party and cut down on prep time with fajitas the little ones can build themselves. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, then cut them into thin strips. Put them in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients and rub into the chicken with your hands. Heat the oil for the pepper mix in a large frying pan and fry the onion wedges for 6 mins or until softened. Turn the heat up high so the wedges char slightly at the edges, season well and, using a slotted spoon, lift them onto a baking tray and keep warm.

Add the peppers in batches, cook them the same way, then transfer to the baking tray with the onions. Cook the tomatoes in the same way and add them to the peppers. Add them to the baking tray to keep warm. Heat the tortillas on the griddle, then wrap in foil and keep warm in the oven, or heat in the microwave following pack instructions.

Tex-Mex cuisine, is any stripped grilled meat with stripped peppers and onions usually served on a flour or corn tortilla. Fajita is a Tex-Mex, Texan-Mexican American or Tejano, diminutive term for little strips of meat cut from the beef skirt, the most common cut used to make fajitas. Spanish nickname goes back as far as the 1930s in the ranch lands of South and West Texas. During cattle roundups, cows were butchered regularly to feed the hands. Items such as the hide, the head, the entrails, and meat trimmings such as the skirt were given to the Mexican cowboys called vaqueros as part of their pay. In September 1969, Sonny Falcón, an Austin meat market manager, operated the first commercial fajita taco concession stand at a rural Diez y Seis celebration in Kyle, Texas.
