Questions asked about fajitas.
'Fajitas' are considered to be a 'Tex-Mex' dish.
This means that it is an American, specifically Texan, adaptation of Mexican food, possibly started by Texans who are of Mexican descent.
'Fajitas' refers to a quickly cooked meal made in a cast iron pan .
The meal commonly includes sliced meat, poultry, or fish cooked beside sliced vegetables and served in a tortilla.
Tacos are commonly made with ground beef and served in a hard or soft tortilla.
However, tacos can also be made with chicken, beans or even just vegetables.
The biggest difference between Fajitas and Tacos is that Fajitas are a more simple recipe that is cooked on a stove or oven (broiler). Also, the seasoning used may also be different for the two dishes as fajitas tend to be more 'smokey' in taste while tacos are often made in a tomato based sauce.
To confuse you a bit, tacos can be made with fajita meat, ingredients, and vegetables.

This is a flavorful and plant-based twist on the classic favorite Tex Mex dish. Instead of using meat, tofu is combined with a delicious blend of spices and then roasted along with colorful bell peppers and onions on a sheet pan.
How to press tofu.
Tofu is pressed in order to remove excess water that can have an effect on the quality of a recipe.
Pressing tofu is not difficult to do and is usually worth your while doing.
Here is how to press your tofu.
- Start by removing the tofu from it packaging and removing any excess water by wrapping the tofu in a few layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- To squeeze out the water, place a skillet, cutting board, or a can on top of the wrapped tofu block.
- You can apply gentle and even pressure to the top of whatever you placed on top of the tofu to help squeeze out moisture.
- Let the tofu sit under pressure for about 15-30 minutes. The longer you press it, the drier it will become.
Ingredients needed to make sheet pan tofu fajitas
- Extra Firm Tofu. Your tofu should be pressed to remove excess moisture. The tofu should then be cut into thin bite sized slices.
