Make your own all-purpose fajita seasoning at home with just 6 basic spices! You can use our homemade fajita seasoning recipe on chicken, steak, veggies, soup, and more.
Fajitas of any kind are a staple in my household. What makes our steak fajitas and chicken fajitas truly the best dinners is our homemade fajita seasoning. No weird fillers or additives, just 6 basic spices you already have.
Our blend is mild in spice level, but can easily be modified if you like it spicy. You can use it on any protein (including beef, seafood, chicken, etc.), on veggies, on beans, and even as an all-purpose seasoning for really anything (speaking from experience).
How to Make Fajita Seasoning
Below is the spice combination you need for homemade fajita seasoning!
- chili powder
- ground cumin
- garlic powder
- paprika
- salt
- pepper
We mentioned that this spice blend is mild in flavor. If you like it spicy, feel free to add 1/2 teaspoon more paprika or 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne powder.
Per pound of meat, we recommend using 3 to 4 teaspoons of seasoning. A good rule of thumb is to start small and continue adding to taste.
We recommend storing your homemade spice mix in an airtight container and storing it in a cool, dark, and dry place for up to 6 months.
