Get the Recipe 5-Minute Homemade Fajita Sauce
Report
Make fajita sauce at home to marinate meat or plant-based options and veggies for fajitas, or simmer it instead for a spice-forward saucy fajita filling!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons fajita seasoning see note
- 4 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 Tablespoons water
- 2 Tablespoons neutral oil
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, add all of the ingredients and whisk or stir until completely incorporated together. Or, shake them together in a jar until combined.
- Use as a marinade for proteins or fajita veggies. To thicken for a condiment, simmer for 3-4 minutes, or cook with fajita veggies to coat. If not using immediately, store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes
- Serving Size: This recipe yields approximately 1/2 cup sauce before simmering.
Fajita Seasoning: this recipe uses a half-batch of my homemade seasoning blend. Here are the measurements for half of that recipe, if you don't have it premade:
1/2 TBSP cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 3/4 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp smoked paprika Pinch black pepper 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 TBSP cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch black pepper
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- Salt: there's just enough salt in this recipe to round out the seasoning, but I do recommend using your judgment to also season any protein/veggies you're using for additional flavor.
