Fajita is a Spanish word that means “little band” (or “little belt”). This was most likely the way that the meat was labeled by a butcher selling skirt steak. Because this cut is usually quite tough, it was precut into small strips. This little piece of meat is a fascinating story.

Fajitas were probably invented in the late 1930s by Mexican workers and vaqueros on ranches in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. Workers were often paid in meat and sometimes the less desirable parts of an animal to pay their wages. These workers discovered that marinating the meat in certain juices would make it more tender and flavorful and allow it to be easily eaten on tortillas.
