- In a small bowl, combine the grilled pineapple, cilantro, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to make the salsa.

Beef fajitas have a rich history, originating in the ranch lands of West Texas and Northern Mexico. This sizzling dish gained popularity in the 1930s when Mexican vaqueros in the Rio Grande Valley would grill skirt steak over an open flame and wrap it in a warm tortilla. The addition of grilled pineapple salsa adds a sweet and tangy twist to this classic dish. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this recipe, incorporating the smoky flavors of grilled pineapple into the traditional fajita mix. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants and Tex-Mex eateries, where the key to perfection lies in the tender, marinated beef and the vibrant, charred pineapple salsa. Whether you're grilling at home or dining out, the combination of savory beef fajitas and zesty pineapple salsa is a must-try for any food enthusiast.
