Fajitas are a Tex Mex dish, rather than a traditional Mexican food. They consist of marinated, grilled meat served on a corn or flour tortilla. Fajitas used to be made with beef but now come in shrimp, chicken, and fish varieties. Today's modern fajita dish was called "tacos al carbon" in Mexico.

Grilled Vegetable Fajitas

The skirt steak cut of meat was traditionally used in this dish, since it was a cheap cut, which the ranch hands along the Rio Grande could afford. Skirt steak is really tough unless you marinate it for a long time, so better cuts of beef are used in today's fajita recipes.
