Fajita Seasoning (Better Than Store-Bought)
Description
The seasoning mix combines chili powder and paprika for mild warmth and color, cumin for earthiness, garlic powder and dried oregano for herbal depth, plus kosher salt and black pepper for seasoning balance. Stirred together, this blend can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container for seasoning fajita chicken, beef, or vegetables.
Making the seasoning at home allows control over salt and spice levels, avoiding preservatives or additives common in commercial blends. It can be scaled up to larger batches for convenient use in multiple meals, and stored for up to a year to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon chili powder
- ½ tablespoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Stir all the spices together in a bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store the seasoning mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one year.
- Scale the recipe to make larger batches for convenient use in multiple meals.
- Use about two tablespoons of the seasoning mix per three chicken breasts when cooking fajitas.
