“Fajita” sounds a bit like “for heater.” A fajita riddle is:
Q: How do Mexicans keep warm?
A: They use chicken for heaters.

Wikipedia: Fajita
A fajita (/fəˈhiːtə/; Spanish: [faˈxita]) is a term found in Tex-Mex cuisine, commonly referring to any grilled meat usually served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla. The term originally referred to the cut of beef used in the dish which is known as skirt steak. Popular meats today also include chicken, pork, shrimp, lamb, salmon, and all other cuts of beef, as well as vegetables instead of meat. In restaurants, the meat is usually cooked with onions and bell peppers. Popular condiments are shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. The northern Mexican variant of the dish name is Arrachera.
