History of the Fajita

Fajita, which means "belt" or "band" in Spanish, originated in Texas. In the 1930s, fajita was the humble dish of the vaqueros, the Mexican cowboys, who used the less noble parts of the beef, simmering them overnight to tenderize them. The next day, the meat was grilled and then cut into thin strips. Diners filled a wheat or corn tortilla with the meat and pico de gallo. In the 1970s, the dish grew in popularity but remained within the borders of Texas. In the 1980s, it conquered North America, and the beef skirt steak was replaced by other parts of the animal. Over time, fajita has evolved into a rich and varied dish, incorporating different types of protein such as chicken, pork or shrimp, with a variety of accompaniments, sauces and vegetables.

What's the difference between a fajita and a burrito?

Fajitas and burritos are two popular dishes in Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine. Although they share certain similarities, mainly the use of tortillas (not to be confused with Spanish tortillas!), there are several notable differences between them:

The fajita, as described above, originated in Texas, hence the name Tex-mex (Texas-mexican). It is traditionally prepared with beef.

The burrito is also a tortilla, but filled with a wider variety of ingredients, traditionally rice, beans, vegetables and other sauces or creams.

The real difference between the two is in the way they are prepared:

Fajitas are often reheated and served with ingredients separate from the tortilla, which you fill yourself at the table.

Burritos are usually wrapped and hermetically sealed, ready to be eaten with the hands and taken away with ease.

Over time, although the fajita and burrito have distinct origins, compositions and presentations, these dishes are often rightly confused. At Nachos, we call them fajitas, because this iconic dish is prepared right before your eyes, with a variety of fresh, colorful ingredients, from tortillas to homemade guacamole. What's more, we like to think that our NACHOS Restaurants are as friendly as a family home, and the moments we share make us feel "right at home".

Is there a vegetarian version of fajita?

To meet the diverse dietary preferences of our customers, we've designed a vegetarian fajita rich in flavor and nutrients, featuring our veggie chili. This organic soy protein is concocted with a delicious blend of tomato pulp, kidney beans, peppers, zucchini, onion and corn, spiced up with cumin and coriander. It's more than just an alternative to meat: it's a new way of savouring Mexican tradition. So, whether you're a vegetarian or just curious, our veggie chili fajitas promise an unforgettable taste experience.
