Mi Casitas (Mexican) also uses cast iron plates for several of their

Yes a cast iron skillet for fajitas makes good sense because it keeps them sizzling hot for longer than a standard plate would.

I would imagine that for flatbreads, it's a gently heated one to keep them warm, and not a skillet out of the oven. Out of the oven sounds like way too much heat.
