What is the Difference Between Beef and Chicken Fajitas?

Marinated Beef fajitas have a tender and fatty beefy taste and are more common for most cookouts. Beef fajitas tend to absorb more flavors when marinated and will cook much more quickly. While chicken fajitas are leaner and have less fat than beef fajitas. Marinated Chicken fajitas also absorb and release the flavors well when cooked. 

Restaurant Style Fajitas

To cook, you sear the chicken cutlets on a hot cast iron pan, or you could also use a hot grill. After letting them rest for a few minutes, slice them across the grain of the meat. Cook them with peppers and onions in the same pan while the meat is resting.

How Many Pounds of Skirt Steak are Needed To Make Fajita?

A skirt steak weighs similar to a flank steak at about 1 – 2 lbs each. At the recommended ½ pound per person, a 2 lb skirt steak can feed 4 people. Skirt steaks are quicker to cook than flank steak, only taking about 3 minutes per side.

What is the Difference Between Fajita and Stir Fry? 

A fajita is a term found in Tex-Mex cuisine commonly referring to any grilled meat served on a flour or corn tortilla. Stir-frying is an umbrella term used to describe two Chinese cooking techniques for preparing food in a wok. The two techniques differ in their speed of execution, the amount of heat used, and the amount of tossing done to cook the food in the wok.
