DESCRIPTION
Use this homemade fajita seasoning to make restaurant worthy fajitas and more. If you’re using this in place of a packet of fajita seasoning, you’ll want to use 2 tablespoons. Note that 2 tablespoons is the correct amount to use for 1 pound of chicken or beef cut into strips, or for one pound of peeled shrimp.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled and used over 3 months.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. onion powder
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. sweet or smoked paprika
- 1 lime, zested
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, chili powder, coriander, paprika, and lime zest until well combined.
- Let mixture stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the salt to draw out the moisture and oils from the lime zest. Break up any clumps that form.
- Transfer mixture to an air-tight container. Store up to 3 months in a cool, dry, dark, place.
