Answer 2

In Spanish, fajita is the diminutive form of the word faja which translates to "belt" or "girdle" in English. Butchers along the Texas border with Mexico used the word to refer to the diaphragm muscle of a steer. Researchers found references to Hispanic ranch hands eating this cut of beef in a tortilla with condiments as early as the 1930s but the word fajita is not known to have appeared in print until 1971, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. In a Mexican Cookery Book published in the Southwest in 1980 there is still no mention of fajitas. Newspaper advertisements for fajitas began appearing in regional newspapers in Texas in 1975.
