Tex-Mex Perfection for Everyone
Fajitas are fun for everyone. Enjoy this Tex-Mex recipe at home—throw a fajita party where your friends and family build their own Fajitas and make memories that last.
Our Fajitas recipe relies on GOYA® Mojo Criollo Marinade as a flavorful marinade that delivers juicy, tender meat, and GOYA® Flour Tortillas – Fajitas for a pocket everyone can pick up.
How Fajitas Became a Favorite
Fajitas are a combination of Mexican and American cuisine from the skillets of cowboys and vaqueros.
In the 1930s, ranch owners along the Texas-Mexico border paid their ranch hands in part with skirt steak. The rancheros grilled the steak with sizzling, local vegetables to make the first fajitas.
Fajitas remained a regional secret until 1969 when a Texas meat vendor opened a roadside fajita stand. Soon, fajitas were in Mexican restaurants throughout the Rio Grande Valley—now, restaurants across the U.S. serve them to millions of people.
Our GOYA® Fajitas use zesty vegetables and flavorful skirt steak to recall the adventurousness that inspired the original dish. Try them at home today!

Cover vegetables with foil to keep warm.
Step 3
Heat remaining oil in skillet over high heat. Add beef; cook, in batches, until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat to serving platter.
Step 4
To serve, spoon meat and vegetables into center of warm tortillas. Add guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream and salsita, if desired; wrap and enjoy.
How to Cut Meat Against the Grain
Some types of red meat, like flank and skirt steaks (used in the fajita recipe above) have distinctive lines running through them. These lines are muscle fibers and can make the meat tough to chew if not cut correctly. For the most tender slices, cut against the grain, meaning that you slice perpendicularly across the lines, not with them. Doing so breaks the tension of the fibers, making the meat extra tender.
