Does anyone have a simple recipe for Fajita seasoning. I don't want to use the one sold. The grocery store put it on the meat and re-warp it for me but it's salty even though he put just enough for the meat.
Someone once told me to put fresh lemon juice and salt but I want a little more fancy than that.

I don't remember the proportions off-hand, but the one I use has...
Orange Juice Lime Juice Minced Jalapeno Minced Garlic Cumin
and maybe one or two other things. Hope that's a good start.

This is what I use:
1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or a clove or two of minced garlic a pinch of cayenne the juice of one lime
Into this, I toss some steak strips along with strips of onion and bell pepper. I marinate it for at least 30 minutes, but I've been known to leave it in the marinade for hours.
I don't put salt in the marinade, but you could add it if you think you need it.

I thought I had a good recipe saved, but a search didn't turn it up... guess it bit the dust in my last HD crash. But a google search turns up all sorts of recipes that don't rely on a packaged mix. The one I'm thinking of didn't require soy, but I'm not finding it. Soy is a common ingredient now and it makes very good fajitas, I'm not saying don't use a recipe with it... just that the one I was thinking of didn't have it (no cumin or chili powder either).

Do you use the zest of the orange or the limes, or just the juice? Do you use the adobo sauce?
If I were the one making the marinade I'd use the zest and the adobo sauce. I'd also use cilantro stems (pounded to a paste with the garlic and salt in a mortar) instead of the cilantro leaves, and I'd use the leaves as a final garnish.

Bolner's Fiesta Brand makes a fajita seasoning without salt. Lime juice is more traditional than lemon juice. I always add a teaspoon of tequila to my fajita marinade.
