Mexican vaqueros in Southwest Texas in the early 1930s created what we've come to love all over the United States.. They created the fajita by using throwaway cuts of beef. However, it wasn't long before they became a staple in the area, but it wasn't long. The steak was cooked over an open fire or grill by these cowboys. They served it with flour or corn tortillas once cooked. They were never taught. The fajita has been elevated in later years by fresh Pico de gallo, acamole, and southwestern spices. New audiences appeared soon as the popular meal for hardworking cowboys was introduced.. In the culinary world, the fajita became a destination food.
