Pro Tips:

Besides just making fajitas, use Homemade Fajita Seasoning on other grilled or roasted meats. You can even use it in soups and on veggies!

Try it in my Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas, Instant Pot Shredded Beef and Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup (recipes coming soon).

Store Homemade Fajita Seasoning in an airtight container. It should last several months if you’re careful not to allow any moisture to get in.

Use about 2 tablespoons in most recipes in place of packets depending on your desired spice level.
