Any help with a rub to season a brisket to be used for fajitas?
I had an urge for fajitas and pulled a small piece of a previous smoked brisket seasoned with spog out of the freezer, thawed it, sliced it added fajita seasoning and some oil, let it marinade for 1/2 hour and put it on the grill. Had to be one of the best (tender) pieces of meat I have ever had in a fajita.
Just wondering if anyone has seasoned a brisket on the head end to be used for Tex-mex and what seasonings you might have used or injected.

I usually use a flank steak and marinade it with some like juice, orange juice, fresh cilantro, garlic, and onion powder overnight.
 
Don't want to rain on the parade but that's a brisket taco, not fajitas.
Good thing you used already cooked brisket, starting from raw would have produced shoe leather.

I guess you could call It a brisket taco, just used fajita seasoning, peppers and onions. All the Mexican places cook it to well done, then bring it out on a sizzling platter turning it into leather shoestrings!
Thought I could use some sorts of fajita/Mexican seasonings rather than SPOG to get the proper flavor to get it closer to a tender piece of fajita meat. May try smokingupnorth’s idea as far as a marinade and smoke/ cook over wood. All I know it was good The way it was!
