Fajitas aren't "south of the US/Mexico border" in origin, neither
are burritos. It might not be accurate, but they're both considered
"Mexican" by many people north of the border and probably some
south...there's not really much one can to about it.

My Mexican Stir-Fry is similar to fajitas in the way it's served,
but more easily utilizes leftover meat...which is what I generally
use, though I do occasionally start out with fresh, uncooked meat.

I coined the term to make it clear that when I suggest to my wife
we have stir-fry for dinner I mean Mexican-style as opposed to
Asian-style or Italian-style. Yes, I even make stir-fry using
foods and flavors typical of Italian cuisine once in awhile,
serving it over pasta. It's nothing more than a cooking method
and way of presentation, though it's usually associated more
with Asian cuisine.
