Complete your meal with some easy guacamole, spicy Mexican rice, and a fizzy lime margarita.
You control the spices – and leave out any that you know you don’t like. And the heat level is up to you – like it spicy? Great, add more cayenne! Prefer it mild? No problem, omit the cayenne! The flavor of homemade fajita seasoning is so much nicer than store-bought. And you won’t find any preservatives, fillers, and hard to pronounce ingredients. We add a little good-quality sea salt (we like Himilayan salt!), but if reducing sodium is important to you then simply omit the salt.
That’s it. Making your own fajita seasoning is so easy!

Technically, spices never go “bad” and won’t be dangerous to use if you keep them around for a long time. But they will lose their potency. Older spices will not be as flavorful and you may find you need more spice to achieve the same flavor. If you don’t think that you’ll use this often, you can store it in your freezer so that it stays fresh longer. But this seasoning mix is so delicious that it can easily be used to spice up many dinners. Here are a few of our favorite ways to use this spice mix:
In chili. Try it in our favorite steak chili or easy vegetarian chili recipes. It’s delicious in both! Tacos. It’s especially good to flavor the meat in ground beef tacos. Baked chicken. We sometimes use this seasoning mix on our juicy baked chicken thighs or our perfect baked chicken breasts. Yum!
