Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Chili Powder
- 1 tbsp Ground Cumin
- 2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional, for spicy fajitas
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to an airtight container
- Mix the spices until incorporated
- Store for up to 6 months
Notes
- Use enough seasoning: Fajitas benefit from bold seasoning, so don’t be shy with the spice blend. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning per pound of meat or vegetables
- Add oil before seasoning: Toss proteins or vegetables with a little oil first so the seasoning sticks and cooks evenly.
- Turn it into a quick marinade: Mix the seasoning with oil and lime juice to create a simple marinade for chicken, steak, or shrimp.
- Cook over high heat: Fajitas taste best when cooked in a very hot skillet, grill pan, or grill to create lightly charred edges.
- Adjust the spice level: Leave out the red pepper flakes for mild fajitas or add more if you prefer extra heat.
- Store the blend properly: Keep the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for the best flavor.
