National Fajita Day 2021: 5 Places To Eat Best Dish In New York City

Fajitas are the filling meals made up of flour or corn tortillas stuffed with peppers, onions and meat. The Tex-Mex cuisine was first made with beef, but gradually people started to rely on chicken to appeal to a larger number of diners.

Making fajitas is pretty easy to make. This one-pan meal gets ready in no time with minimal effort, even if you want to prepare them at the comfort of your home.
