The Best Fajita Seasoning Mix!
- This mix is the best for adding to dips, sauces, dressing, marinade, or as a rub for meat.
- This multi-purpose mix is so quick to make!
- Unlike store-bought taco seasoning, fajita seasoning has a dash of smoked paprika for a depth of flavor that complements everything from eggs to veggies, chicken to steak, and everything in between!
- Homemade seasonings are less expensive to make, use less packaging, are free of strange ingredients, and allow you to control the proportions.
Simple Ingredients
SPICY: Chili powder and cayenne pepper bring the heat to fajita seasoning.
SAVORY: A good seasoning mix has a ‘base’ of flavors. Cumin, paprika, onion, garlic powder, and smoked paprika amounts can be adjusted to taste. Ground mustard, oregano, basil, and thyme are all great for adding to the basic mix to switch up the flavors.
SWEET: A pinch of sugar balances out the fajita mix but a sugar alternative like Swerve can be used for a sugar-free blend.
How To Make Fajita Seasoning

Where to use Fajita Seasoning

Storage Solutions for Seasonings
