I like to use MOJO. A good substitute for flank steak is a flat iron steak.

Chicken is bland to start with. It need a good bit of salt or salt brine. After being cooked the lime juice & soy sauce is about all you can do to perk it up.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning
Ingredients:
2 TBSP. Chili powder
1/2 TBSP. Salt
1 TBSP. Paprika
1 TBSP. Sugar
2 tsp. chicken or beef bouillon depending on the meat used, crushed cubes or powder from a jar.
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. (or more!) or crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 TBSP Lime Juice
Directions:
Mix dry seasonings in a ziploc bag. (You can also marinate the meat in the bag if you like)
If not, Mix 3 TBSP of seasoning with 1/2 Cup of Chicken or Beef broth and lime juice and add to meat when half cooked to finish it.
(This is based on 1 to 11/2 #'s of meat)
Add peppers & Onions when you add mix.
Add more or less seasoning depending on the amount of meat you're cooking. Wing it to your tastes!
The difference in this recipe is the Bouillon and Cayenne and lime juice.

Don't forget the lime juice.

You can also add a LITTLE soy sauce.

I'd stay away from the packaged stuff, you'd be buying a chemical set in a bag. Add some spicy chili powder, chipotle (either ground or some chopped canned ones), more oil if needed, and grill the fajitas instead of pan cooking.
Good luck,
Jim
