Default What's the difference?

Some people like to argue the fine points...

Fajitas ("little makings") are narrow strips of thin *raw* beef which
you briefly fry with vegetables before eating.

Carne asada is the same beef, not sliced so narrow, *after* frying in
a pan (or roasting over dry heat).

To me, carne asada is usually tough and dry and too chewy after being
overcooked on a grill in a taqueria, aka "Mexican restaurant", so I
don't order it.
