Fajita Seasoning

There’s just nothing better than whipping up your very own fajita seasoning. You'll feel like a kitchen hero creating something extra special completely from scratch.

How much fajita seasoning should I use for beef and chicken?

Figure on about 1/4 cup fajita seasoning for 1 1/2 pounds of beef or chicken. But don't stop there. You can use the same ratio of spice mix to protein with shrimp and vegetables. I like to rub it on meaty portobellos before grilling.

Can I customize fajita seasoning?

Sure! The beauty of homemade spice blends is that you can double down on ingredients you love, and skip any ingredients you, well, don't. If you like your fajitas hot and spicy, add more red pepper flakes or chili powder. For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika. If you're not a fan of cumin, skip it altogether.

How should I store fajita seasoning?

Keep leftover seasoning in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
