Fajita facts for kids
A fajita is a super yummy dish from Tex-Mex cooking. Tex-Mex means it's a mix of Texas and Mexican food traditions. It usually has grilled meat, like steak or chicken. You eat it wrapped up in a soft flour or corn tortilla, just like a taco.
Popular meats for fajitas include steak, chicken, and other cuts of beef. Sometimes, people even use vegetables instead of meat for a meat-free option.
In restaurants, fajitas often come sizzling hot! The meat is cooked with yummy onions and colorful bell peppers. You get to build your own fajita! Popular toppings include fresh shredded lettuce, cool sour cream, creamy guacamole, spicy salsa, fresh pico de gallo (a chunky salsa), shredded cheese, tasty beans, and diced tomatoes. It's a fun and delicious meal where everyone can customize their own wrap!
