Fajitas originated in the border regions of Texas and northern Mexico, where cattle ranchers used cheap cuts of meat grilled over open flames. Over time the concept evolved into a popular street‑food wrap, combining seasoned protein with sautéed peppers and onions, and is now a staple in both Mexican and Tex‑Mex cooking.

In central Mexico, fajitas are often served on corn tortillas with fresh salsa, while in the U.S. Tex‑Mex style they use flour or low‑calorie wraps and may add cheese or guacamole. Some regions add pickled jalapeños or use different marinades such as adobo or citrus‑based blends.

Traditionally the grilled chicken, onions and bell peppers are placed on a warm corn tortilla, topped with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sometimes a drizzle of crema or salsa, then folded and eaten immediately while still hot.

Fajitas are popular at casual gatherings, family picnics, and weekend barbecues. They are also a common menu item at festivals and market stalls because they are quick to assemble and easy to eat on the go.

This version emphasizes lean chicken breast and a fat‑free yogurt‑avocado sauce, keeping the calorie count low while delivering about 35 g of protein per wrap, making it ideal for fitness‑focused eaters without sacrificing authentic Mexican flavors.

Common errors include overcooking the chicken, overcrowding the pan which steams instead of browns, over‑sautéing the vegetables until they become mushy, and making the sauce too thick or too thin. Follow the timing cues and keep ingredients dry before assembling.

Fat‑free yogurt provides the creamy texture of sour cream while cutting calories and adding extra protein, aligning with the high‑protein, low‑calorie goal of the recipe.

Yes. Store cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and the green sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

The chicken strips should be golden‑brown on the outside, slightly caramelized, and no longer pink inside. They should remain juicy and have a slight crisp edge.
