NOTES : The Spanish word, Fajita, meaning little bands or sashes, refers to

the strips of skirt steak for which the dish was first developed by a

butcher in Austin, Texas in the 1960s. Today, the term applies to any

strips of savory food: not to the sandwich, although Fajitas are usually

accompanied by tortillas.
