National Fajita Day celebrates the Tex-Mex dish known for sizzling grilled meat or vegetables served with tortillas and toppings. The day recognises shared meals, flavourful regional cuisine and the social fun of building a fajita. Restaurants and home cooks often celebrate with shared plates, fresh toppings and the festive atmosphere of Tex-Mex cooking.

Event suggestions:
• Creating fajita recipe cards with intergenerational storytelling
• Styling fajita tables celebrating culinary memory and place
• Comparing fajita variations across family and regional traditions
