Homemade Fajita Seasoning

If there’s one meal that’s guaranteed to be on our menu every week, it’s fajitas. Usually veggie ones, because we’re trying to eat less meat these days.

Fajitas have become our go-to meal whenever we can’t decide what to make or if we’re just craving some tex mex food. Plus, they’re a great thing to make almost anywhere in the world. Most supermarkets, no matter which country you’re in, will sell tortillas and seasoning. It’s a no-brainer.

As much as I love making fajitas on a regular basis, I don’t love the packaged fajita seasoning. They can be hit and miss. Not to mention that they’re often loaded with MSG or preservatives. And after having been sat on a shelf for months, the spices are less than fresh.

It’s so easy to make your own seasoning, once you have a few key ingredients. And once you’ve bought the spices, you can either make a big batch and keep it in an airtight container or jar, or simply make a small amount every time you want to eat fajitas.
