Fajitas traditionally refer to a certain type of meat (skirt steak) that is marinated in spices, grilled, and then served hot and sizzling in a frying pan. Condiments and small tortillas are served on the side for each individual to assemble the wraps on their own. The word fajitas actually translate as ''little skirts''. Tacos, on the other hand, are small usually corn tortillas (soft or hard-shells) that are served in an open-faced or folded manner with meat/seafood poultry, veggies, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, lime juice, and cilantro.
