What to Serve with Chicken Fajitas
Fajitas were typically made with a seared skirt steak and then then served in a warm tortilla with sauteed peppers and onions. They were seared in a hot skillet mostly over an open fire. Many restaurants today still serve a “sizzling” fajita dish that sounds and resembles that of the cowboy campfire days.
Nowadays, having Fajitas typically means using any type of seasoned meat or seafood that has been cooked using just about any method, then adding the sliced meat or seafood to a flour tortilla with delicious toppings like cheese and sour cream.
