Choosing the Best Meat for Fajitas

The foundation of great fajitas starts with the right protein. Traditionally, skirt steak is the go-to choice, but there are several options to fit different budgets and preferences:

Skirt Steak – Classic fajita meat with a deep, beefy flavor.
Flank Steak – A great alternative to skirt steak, offering similar flavor and tenderness.
Flap Steak – Slightly more affordable, requiring close attention to avoid overcooking.
Sirloin Tips – A leaner option that absorbs marinades well and remains juicy.
Chicken – Best when marinated in citrus and spices.
Shrimp – Quick-cooking and perfect for a seafood twist on fajitas.

💡 Pro Tip: Always slice steak against the grain after cooking.

Marinade Matters: Elevate Your Fajitas

A well-balanced marinade enhances the flavor and tenderness of your protein:

Citrus (Lime or Orange Juice) – Adds brightness.
Oil (Avocado or Olive Oil) – Distributes spices and prevents sticking.
Garlic & Onion – Essential aromatics.
Soy Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce – Provides umami.
Meat Church Dia De La Fajita Seasoning – Perfectly blended spices.

⏳ Marinate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for maximum tenderness.
