What is a fajita?

[CZroe]

At Chipotle, Santana's, etc, every time I order a Fajita or "Fajita Burrito" and then specify what I want in it, they always correct me and call it a burrito. I'm puzzled. I never ask for beans and always ask for the peppers. At Chipotle, I go with the steak or chicken, rice, peppers/veggies, lettuce, hottest sauce, and I'm done.

They bring it to you on a sizzling platter to try and distract you from noticing you're getting mostly veggies and hardly any meat. The sizzling doesn't work on me though. It's highway robbery.

Did you ever notice that veggies and meat are DELICIOUS together?

Fajita simply is saying how the meat was prepared.

Say for instance a restaurant offers beef, or fajita meet. The beef is usually seasoned, ground beef. The fajita beef is skinny, grilled chunks.

The same goes for chicken. Chicken at a mexican restaurant is usually shredded, while fajita is longer, thick, grilled chunks.

steak + potatoes are yes, but I don't think I should pay the same price for Fajitas where I get not even half as much meat as a regular burrito. It's like Pizza places, they charge you the same price for onions as a topping as they do for bacon. It's a huge rip off. A Burrito should be mostly meat, with some cheese, rice and if you like veggies onions. Bell Peppers and all that shit don't belong in a tortilla with meat.

^^ He has been the _ONLY_ correct poster so far.

IN A NUTSHELL: A fajita is a long strip of meat (chicken, beef, goat, you name it) that has been spiced and grilled.

It doesn't matter what kind of plate it's on. It doesn't matter what it's inside of. It doesn't matter if it's still sizzling or not.

Pronunciation: fah (as in FAther) hee (as in "he") ta (as in "TA-daa!")

I tried to think up a non-retarded way to continue the pun (Fujitsu? Vegeta?), but failed.
