Then, sauté some onions and bell peppers, warm up some street corn tortillas, and assemble the fajitas with toppings like sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and lime wedges. You can also find tips on how to cook chicken thighs and customize the recipe by substituting other proteins like steak or tofu. I also included a brief history of fajitas, tracing their roots back to the mid-20th century and discussing their origins in Mexican culture.
