Who has a fajita marinade that they really like. I normally just by my fajita meat from the carneceria around the corner, but they are closed for covid. It's a little mom and pop shop.
I like both or either flank or inside skirt. As for marinade you need lots of soy and citrus. Try sourcing Dale’s marinade in your grocery or just use soy sauce along with fresh lemons, limes and even oranges.

I personally like skirt. Although flank is good and i use that as well. But, given the choice, I’d pick skirt.
I don’t really make fajitas, per say. I usually make a board sauce. But the meat is pretty much the same, so I usually just use SPOG and a bit of ancho chile powder or guajillo powder and olive oil and grill it up. But, I will throw in some citrus, either lime or orange juice to help with a bit of flavor.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Sorry this isn't beef, but it is one of my wife & I's favorite chicken fajita marinades, from grandbaby-cakes.com. I've wondered how it would fair with beef but haven't experimented.
Whisk together tequila, lime juice, lime zest, orange juice, olive oil and worchestershire sauce until combined.
Pour marinade into large plastic storage bag then submerge chicken, close storage bag and store in refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight for more intensified flavor.
When ready to grill, remove chicken from marinade and season with salt and pepper, and evenly with paprika and garlic powder.
Grill chicken on all sides until cooked through then remove from grill, cover with foil and rest to allow juices to settle. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime zest and serve.

3 Lbs flap or skirt steak. Flank is a little thick for our tastes, but will work fine if thinly sliced after cooking.
1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup tequila
4 cloves garlic pressed or minced
1 Tbs ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Mix marinade into a large ziplock, put in meat and marinade for at least 4 hours - overnight is best.
Veggies to complement:
Red, green, yellow peppers sliced into strips
1-2 yellow onions sliced
Green onions - whole using root end to baste meat when you grill it hot and fast. Then grill quickly when the meat is ready to serve with the other veggies.
Grill veggies with a little of the marinade, then meat hot and fast. Warmed tortillas and libations of choice!
Obviously remove meat and do not use leftover marinade except a small amount for basting the meat and coating the peppers and onions before you grill them.
