Fajitas are a popular Mexican dish typically made with grilled or sautéed strips of marinated meat (such as beef, chicken, or shrimp) and served with sautéed peppers and onions. The meat and vegetables are usually served on a sizzling hot skillet and accompanied by warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and other toppings. Fajitas are often customizable, allowing diners to create their own wraps with their choice of fillings and condiments.
