Skirt steak is traditionally used but I think flank is just as good. It's really personal preference, both cuts are amenable to the cooking methods and flavoring agents used in fajitas.

I prefer skirt steak. It is perfect for fajitas. But, as abefroman said, it depends on personal preference.

Traditional way, skirt. But you can do it MR and do a flank, then slice thin. That's the way I like it.

Flank's just a little more tender,and I think the flavor of skirt makes up for it.

I LOVE skirt steak...I did fajitas for a large group of friends on Labor Day, I did marinated Skirt steak cooked to MR-M and they were PERFECT. A little chewy but great flavor.

Chicken was good too.
