My friends' husband started me on this. I don't make fajitas without it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Skip buying the packets at the store and next time you're making fajitas whip up this easy seasoning mix. The flavors of chili, smoky cumin, garlic, and onion are well balanced. It's lightly sweet and salty with a mild heat.
