This fajita seasoning mix isn’t a meal, but it’s incredibly important when it comes to making certain dishes. If you have found yourself with no seasoning in the cupboard, then this is the recipe you need.
Fajita seasoning is not as punchy as taco seasoning but is still an incredible seasoning that you should keep in your cupboard. Its ideal use is for fajitas, but there are plenty of other dishes where this seasoning comes in handy.
This seasoning mix has a delicious range of spices and herbs such as the chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and some ground cumin.
Typically a fajita is grilled meat that is served as a taco with either a flour or corn tortilla. The meat is often cooked in a mixture of spices and herbs like this recipe. It is part of Tex-Mex cuisine and is a popular dish throughout Mexico and the United States.
Make this Seasoning in Bulk
You can make this recipe in bulk if you find yourself using this seasoning quite a bit.
Make sure you store the seasoning in an airtight container in the cupboard. Keeping it in an airtight container will help ensure that the seasoning will not go stale.
If you’re storing it for a long time, then you may find that the seasoning will clump together. It is still fine to use, just use a spoon or something similar to break it up.
Uses for Fajita Seasoning
Many different dishes use fajita seasoning, but the traditional and most likely you will need this for is, of course, Fajitas. For anyone who doesn’t know, fajitas refer to grilled meat that’s served with vegetables in a corn or flour tortilla.
If you’re making some fajita meat mix, then this meat mixture also works fantastic in some delicious quesadillas. It also works great in a ton of other dishes such as topping on pizza, with nachos, in a bread roll, and much more.
You can make a delicious fajita meat mixture in the slow cooker if you’re feeling a little experimental. It cooks to be a delightful dish that I highly recommend that you try.
Without any changes, this seasoning is gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. So it’s a great seasoning when it comes to cooking for people with special dietary needs.
If you rather just buy the seasoning, then you can find it at pretty much any good supermarket. If you’re struggling to find it, then you can also get it online at pretty much any good online store such as Amazon.

Recipe Tips
- If you think something is slightly off, then you can easily adjust this seasoning. Just make sure you write down any changes, so you remember when you make this again.
- A tablespoon of cornstarch can be added into the seasoning mixture. It will help the seasoning stick to the meat and will help thicken up any liquid.
- If you’re looking to change this seasoning a little, then using smokey paprika instead of regular paprika is a good way of achieving this.
- This seasoning will last in the cupboard for ages if stored correctly. Make sure it’s in a sealed container, and you don’t get the mix wet. You will find it will last months if stored correctly.
- If you want to add even more flavor to this seasoning, then one teaspoon of a crushed chicken bouillon cube help. However, it’s fine without this, so don’t feel like you need to add this.
