Recently, I wanted to make a recipe that called for fajita seasoning and, of course, I had none. So I searched around and found this homemade recipe for it. So I tried it. Result? I will never buy fajita seasoning again. I always have these spices and sugar and cornstarch and it makes enough for one time use so no need to store it. It’s just-enough spicy and perfect for us. Give it a try!
Tomorrow I’ll post the recipe I used this seasoning mix in!
Homemade Fajita Seasoning
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsps chili powder
1 tsp salt ~ I use kosher
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
Mix the cornstarch and all the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Use as directed in your recipe. Makes the same amount as a packet of fajita seasoning.

Making your own seasoning is always the best. No preservatives and less money.
Very true!
