Fajitas are a Tex-Mex dish that originated in the border regions of Texas and Mexico. Originally, fajitas were made with skirt steak, but over time, chicken and other meats have become popular options. The dish is typically served with warm tortillas and a variety of toppings, such as cheese, avocado, and salsa. With the rise of air fryers, people have found a new way to make delicious and healthier fajitas without the need for a hot grill or stovetop.
