If your beef fajitas are chewy, it is likely because you cut the steak in the wrong direction, or because you didn’t give it time to properly marinade. Cut the Beef Against the Grain. Slicing meat against the grain helps tenderize it.

What is the most tender meat for fajitas?
How long should I marinate chicken?
Give it 5-6 hours for the best flavour and texture – if you don’t have that long, even 10 minutes of marinating will give flavour to the outside of chicken. Marinades without acid can be left longer but won’t make them work any better, so stick to 24 hours as a maximum.
Are fajitas made with corn or flour tortillas?
Flour tortillas are also preferred for fajitas because they’ll stand up to having all those ingredients piled on, in addition to guacamole, salsa, and all the other good stuff. This also holds hold true for any Mexican dish that’s rolled or topped with sauce – like burritos and enchiladas.
What can you put in fajitas instead of peppers?
If you don’t like peppers or can’t have them, then try substituting the peppers for other delicious veggies like zucchini ribbons or mushrooms. With the fajita spices added in, they will make a great substitution!
Do you have cheese with fajitas?
Cheese. Cheese is the number one fajita topping. Mild grated cheese melts and makes the fajitas extra creamy and delicious.
