Fajita Seasoning Recipe
Description
The seasoning mix includes chili powder and cumin as primary flavors, enhanced by paprika's smoky sweetness, garlic salt for savory notes, black pepper and onion powder for a rounded taste, and cayenne pepper for heat. Combined in specific proportions, the blend achieves a vibrant taste profile that complements grilled chicken best but also pairs well with shrimp, pork, or steak.
Stored in an airtight container, the mix keeps fresh for use in multiple meals. A typical usage is one tablespoon of seasoning for every 1 to 2 pounds of chicken, allowing flexibility for different protein amounts and personal spice tolerance.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 2 tablespoons cumin ground
- 2 tablespoon paprika

Instructions

- Store in an airtight container like a mason jar.
- Use 1 tablespoon Fajita seasoning for every 1-2 pounds of chicken.
Notes
- This seasoning is great for fajitas but also works well on shrimp, pork, or steak for grilling or sautéing.
