Homemade Fajitas Seasoning Mix – Spicy, salty, perfectly flavored Fajitas Seasoning Mix made at home with spices that you already have in your spice rack!
Hi Hey! Happy Sunday! I don’t want to turn your entire attention away from those awesome Steak Fajitas, buuuuut… I have one thing to say: (⬅ said in RuPaul-style)
STOP buying taco, fajita, and whatever else seasoning-packets!! Pleeeease! Ok. Ok. I’ll stop shouting. And, what you buy is none of my business, I know. But still. Just read some of the ingredients – it’s like chemical-ly and stuff. You don’t need that. It’s so much better when you can make your own, especially when it is this easy.
I use this Homemade Fajitas Seasoning Mix on Fajitas, on Tacos, on Chicken Salads, and on anything else that can somehow be turned into a Tex Mex deal.
Just letting you know now. This ain’t about no fancy pancy ingredients.
FAJITAS SEASONING MIX
This is about some chili powder, a bit of cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, dash or two of garlic powder, and a good dose of oregano. All dried up and ready to be mixed into a jar.
I think what I’m trying to tell you is that this recipe is so simple, it’s almost funny. Go grab some spices and let’s git ‘er done!

Would you recommend the sea salt be coarse or fine grained? I prefer things are not too salty, so thought I’d go with coarse, but would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
I use coarse sea salt.
The BEST fajita seasoning blend I have ever used!
Excellent, cheaper than the packs and no hidden additives or preservatives 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank YOU! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
This was so good. Now I make it all the time! The peppers and rice are so tasty with this dish. Thank you so much. It’s my favorite meal!!!
That’s great! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
Thank you over the last year or 2 I have used this recipe tonnes of times it’s really nice and the fact that I am mixing it up myself means I can put less chilli powder in so my daughter who doesn’t like things spicy hot can eat it too. I use about half of the chili powder. I shared it with my mum my brother and a FB group of friends just sharing the link to your page and many of us are now making it. I usually multiply it by about 6 and mix up a fair bit at once so I have it to hand. It saves time and works better when I’m tired and brains gone to bed. I use thinly sliced chicken breast, peppers, onions and recently started adding tomatoes which are so nice in it. I put it all in a big oven dish drizzle with about 2 tbsp of oil for 4 of us and mix that then add 2 tbsp of this spice blend and mix before putting in the oven for 35 – 40 mins stirring half way through. I don’t even have to stand and cook it then once the prep is done.
Where is the recipe on how to cook it, at what temperature etc
How to cook a seasoning mix? There’s no cooking involved; you just combine all the seasonings/spices together and store it in a bag or jar until you’re ready to use it.

I hope this helps.
I, too, make all my own seasoning blends and sauces, and I’m always on the prowl to up the seasoning game. I have a question about the chili powder ingredient. When I make chili, I make my own chili powder with paprika, cayenne, cumin, garlic, onion, oregano, cloves… Do you mean the chili powder blend from the supermarket? Thanks!
Hi!
Yes, I use the chili powder blend sold at the supermarket or on Amazon 😊 https://amzn.to/3kvqK9j
