If the skirt steak hasn't been tenderized, take out all your aggressions on it, rather than using chemical tenderizers.

Dust the meat with your proportional choice of chili powder, garlic powder, and oregano.
4
It is not necessary to highly season fajitas.

Allow to marinate 20 minutes to 2 hours in fridge.
7
Place a liberal amount of bell pepper and onion/scallion pieces (1/2 inch x 1-1/2 inch ) among the meat pieces.

On a medium-hot BBQ grill (or hibachi) cook meat and veggies until meat is desired doneness and veggies are tender crisp.
