FAJITA SEASONING
Skip the store-bought packets and make your own homemade Fajita Seasoning! It’s incredibly simple and can be mixed together in minutes (and you can reduce or omit the salt and the sugar if you want to). This versatile spice blend is great on fajitas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more! The best part: It lasts for ages, so go ahead and make a double batch that you can easily store in an airtight container.
Ingredients:
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
