Fajita meat is a flavorful protein typically made from marinated cuts of beef or chicken, most commonly skirt or flank steak. Originating from Tex-Mex cuisine, it is seasoned with a blend of spices like chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice, and often grilled or pan-seared to achieve its signature smoky, caramelized taste. This protein is rich in essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, making it a valuable energy source. However, depending on preparation methods, fajita meat can also be high in sodium and saturated fats, particularly if oils and processed marinades are used. Opting for lean cuts and homemade marinades can enhance its health benefits. Pairing it with fresh vegetables and whole grains can make fajita meat a balanced and nutrient-packed meal.
