Fajita Seasoning
Description
The Fajita Seasoning recipe combines common spices and corn starch to provide a well-rounded, balanced flavor suitable for fajitas. The corn starch likely helps the seasoning adhere better to the meat or vegetables during cooking. The inclusion of sugar adds a subtle sweetness against the smoky and spicy notes from paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. This seasoning blend is mixed thoroughly and kept in an airtight container for preservation.
The process is straightforward: all ingredients are whisked together and stored until use. This allows for quick and consistent seasoning whenever needed.
To maintain freshness and potency, store the seasoning in a dry place in a sealed jar or airtight container. The recipe notes suggest it lasts up to six months under these conditions, making it practical for regular use.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Notes
- Store the homemade fajita seasoning in an airtight container to maintain freshness and potency.
- Keep the container in a dry place; the mixture is good for up to six months.
