Will be making up some fajitas next week, and this is the spice mix I use. It has some nice heat, and a bit of savory, and sweet. Never fails to please. Just to let you know, this spice mix is designed for beef fajitas; not chicken or other proteins. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    If stored in a cool/dry location, in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid, this spice will last about six months.
  • Step 3
    This recipe has salt, as most fajita spice recipes do; however, if you want to limit your salt intake, just reduce it, or leave it out. It still tastes pretty dang good.

    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

    Step 5
    Combine all the ingredients together, and store until needed.
