Why I Love This Recipe

Prior to knowing my husband and son were having reactions to soy, dairy and gluten, fajita night was a weekly routine in our house. After we had to accommodate food sensitivities, we quickly realized that almost every store bought fajita spice packet has either dairy, wheat, or soy components!

While I was able to find a brand that didn't have any of these ingredients, we didn't like the flavor. So, I started working on my own version of fajita seasoning and this homemade blend was born!

Thanks to cumin in this blend, Homemade Fajita Seasoning is more earthy in flavor than regular taco seasoning. Although chili powder and black pepper add light spice, it is a mild, kid-friendly seasoning. These flavors are rounded out with earthy sweetness of coriander and oregano.

Use this made from scratch spice to flavor homemade chicken or steak fajitas, but also try it to liven up Mexican inspired soups, casseroles, or sheet pan meals!

Storage Tips

Spice blends last a long time in storage! You can store this Homemade Fajita Seasoning in an airtight container away from heat and light. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

You can buy spice jars or use plastic storage bags. However, I prefer to repurpose my emptied spice containers. For this seasoning blend, I used an empty chili powder jar. Then, if the label is easy to remove feel free to do that and add your own. I typically use a cut out a rectangle of paper or a sticky note taped over the old label of the spice jar. Good for your wallet and the environment, win-win!
