- Fajita is a dish of Mexican origin consisting of strips of spiced meat, chopped vegetables, and grated cheese, wrapped in a soft tortilla and often served with sour cream. One can substitute the meat with Tofu, Paneer or other veggies of your choice. Very easy to prepare with a little bit of planning and preparation. This is a one dish meal and full of health and nutrition. I have slightly twisted the recipe to suit the Indian palate..
