Description
Fajita seasoning recipe, in bulk. Have it ready anytime you want fajitas. It’s easy to make, and lasts a long time. Perfect with any type of fajitas. I suggest trying it with my sheet pan chicken fajitas.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 3 teaspoons dried oregano
- optional: 1 teaspoon to 1 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- optional: 1 teaspoon to 1 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine: Add all ingredients to a medium-sized mason jar, or mixing bowl. Shake, or stir to fully combine the spices. Pop the lid on the mason jar, or transfer to another type of air-tight container, and store at room temp for up to 6 months. If storing longer than 6 months, I recommend storing it in the freezer to help preserve the potency, and flavor of the spices. Tip: make sure to label the seasoning mix, along with the measurements.
- To use: To use the fajita seasoning, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fajita seasoning mix to your fajitas ingredients of choice. Note: this suggested amount of fajita mix should be used on a fajita recipe that has 4 to 5 servings. If making a larger, or smaller batch of fajitas, adjust the amount of seasoning you use, accordingly. If cooking the fajita ingredients in a skillet, add the fajita seasoning at the end of cooking, and allow it to cook another 1 to 2 minutes, just so the spices get nice and flavorful. If you’re making sheet pan fajitas, then, toss the fajita seasoning on the sheet pan with the fajita ingredients, along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, before roasting. Use this seasoning mixture on my sheet pan chicken fajitas.
Notes
Bulk seasonings: Yes, I know this seasoning mixture uses large amounts of seasonings. This is because we are making a bulk batch so that it’s ready to use anytime we want fajitas, and you need a lot of that fajita seasoning for one batch of fajitas. If you happen to buy your spices in bulk, this recipe is ideal for you.
Salt: I use kosher salt in this recipe, if you’re using a finer salt, such as table salt, make sure to use less table salt as it is finer in texture, and saltier in flavor. Also, I made this fajita seasoning so that when making fajitas I wouldn’t need to think about how much salt to add. For us, the fajitas are perfectly salted.
Portion size: The suggested amount of fajita mix should be used on a fajita recipe that has 4 to 5 servings. If making a larger, or smaller batch of fajitas, adjust the amount of seasoning you use, accordingly
Fajita recipes: You can use this fajita seasoning on any fajita recipe you like, or even a taco recipe, in a pinch – but, I highly recommend trying my sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe. It’s one of our all time favorite meals.
