Stop buying those expensive packages of fajita seasoning and make your own! Most people have all of the following spices in their cabinets already so put them to use.
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
Mix together and rub on your meat. Let meat marinate for at least an hour before cooking. I have used this with beef and pork with great results and to make it even better I place the meat (beef or pork roast or skirt steak, whatever I'm using) in a ziplock bag. Pour mixed seasoning over meat and add 1/2 to 2/3 cup Italian dressing, seal the bag and move the meat around to get good coverage. Place in the fridge overnight or at least a few hours. Remove from bag and place in crockpot on high until it is done, this will depend on the size of roast you are using. To shorten the crockpot cook time you can cube the roast first. Meat should pull apart easily when done. If you are using steak you can grill or pan saute. The Italian dressing really helps breakdown the meat making it super tender. I haven't tried it with chicken yet, but its sure to be good!
