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!

Was quick and easy, gluten free and delicious!! Loved ut!
Is that Sodium content for real?
Hi!
That was for the entire 2+ tablespoons of this seasoning. I just broke it down to servings and the sodium content is a bit lower, at around 394 mg. I updated the overall nutritional analysis, as well. I hope this helps. 🙂
How would you use this as a marinade? How much oil or water? Also, the nutritional content says 2000 mg, I’m assuming this is if you use the whole thing?
Is this a marinade or spice it and cook it?
Should the spice be used as a marinade and how long should it take or is it for season and straight to heated grill.
Hi!
It’s a spice blend or a seasoning. You can use it as a rub for meats or as a seasoning. Is that what you mean? I hope I understood the question. 🙂
This was spot on! Easy and yummy! Perfect!!
Thank you for sharing!
Made this today for sirloin fajitas for dinner. So easy, so yummy, and no chemicals or preservatives!
Amazballs! I’ll never buy store bought again!
Hey sounds great couple questions. What kinda paprika? Smoked, hot, sweet? Also the cumin – ground (powdered) right?
Matt
Hi Matt! I use smoked, but if I feel like I want more heat, I add hot paprika. And, yes, that should say ground cumin. Thank you! 🙂
How much seasoning to meat ratio? And would this amount change between beef vs. turkey?
Hi Fran! That would depend on how spicy you like your food. I would start with about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons for each 1-pound of meat, whether it be beef or chicken. I hope that helps. 🙂
