Beef fajitas have a rich history, originating in the ranch lands of West Texas and Northern Mexico. This sizzling dish was traditionally made with skirt steak, marinated in lime juice, garlic, and spices, then grilled and served with sautéed peppers and onions. The addition of extra guacamole adds a creamy and flavorful element to the dish, complementing the smoky and savory flavors of the beef. Renowned chefs like Diana Kennedy and Rick Bayless have popularized this dish, and it has become a staple in Tex-Mex cuisine. Today, the best beef fajitas with extra guacamole can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants across Texas and the Southwest. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the marination of the beef and the freshness of the guacamole. For a twist, some chefs also serve beef fajitas with a side of homemade salsa or pico de gallo for an extra kick of flavor.
