Fajita is a term found in Mexican cuisine and Tex-Mex and it's meaning is basically grilled meat served on a tortilla. Is quite a fun dish as traditionally it is all put out on a table and the person makes up their own fajitas with there own personal choice of fillings and quantity. Me I like mine with mostly meat, peppers, onions, salsa and a little guacamole, cheese and sour cream so that i can roll it up neatly. Carola she generally has huge quantities of everything in her fajitas so that it can't be rolled up and stay together, very messy but the main thing is we both thoroughly enjoyed them.
