Fajita Seasoning Mix
I used to purchase those little fajita seasoning packs but once I started making my own mixes I never looked back!
There are lots of different recipes out there to make your own DIY fajita seasoning mix, but I thought I would share my version with you. This combination of spices makes for super flavorful and delicious fajitas!
Lately, I've been making a whole lot of chicken fajitas. With this gorgeous weather coming in, I haven't really felt like spending as much time indoors.
I sort of feel like I've been in an extra long winter hibernation for far too long! lol
Fajitas are such a quick and easy meal to prepare! They're great for those days when you want something tasty but don't want to put in too much effort! lol
This fajita seasoning mix is superb when used with chicken, but you can also use it with thinly sliced strips of beef.
I have a jar of this on hand in the cupboards for when I need to make a quick meal and just mix together some more when I need to. 🙂
Looks at those chicken fajitas below! Don't they look yummy??
Check out my fajita seasoning recipe below! 😀

I love fajitas! I’ll definitely have to try out this seasoning mix. Thanks so much for sharing.
This seasoning looks delicious. I have never thought to make it at home. Good idea
Thank you for the recipe! I’ll try this with vegetarian fajitas sometime.
You put so much of what I’d put in there. This sounds absolutely fantastic, and would give amazing flavor to chicken and beef.
It is such a smart way to save money when you can buy your own. It tastes so much better too!
I’ve never tried creating my own seasoning. I’ve never thought of checking for recipes online actually. Thank you for your recipe. I’ll try this one of these days.
Omg too funny!! I just made my own fajita seasoning for the first time yesterday! Wish I would of saw this post yesterday because I would of totally attempted this recipe!
This sounds absolutely delish.
I am all for anything “Spanish”. I am a Latin American, and I am always looking for ways to turn my traditional meals into something different but still yummy. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
This sounds and looks delicious! I love fajitas! I am going to have to make some again sometime soon. Thanks for the recipe!
Yum! This looks and sounds much better than store bought. I love making my own when I can. It’s always so much better. I’ll have to give this a try!
I love this mix! Definitely going to attempt making it. I haven’t tried making my own before.
I love fajitas! I haven’t tried making my own mix though.
This recipe sounds really good. These photos make me want to go make it now. Thank you for sharing.
This recipe does sound delicious. The photo makes my mouth water. However, I can’t handle anything spicy for health reasons. I would have to tame it down for me. My boyfriend however, loves spicy foods. This version would perfect for me to make for him.
Yes yes yes!! We love fajitas too. Never thought about making my own seasoning though. It looks delicious so I’ve gotta try it! I have most everything on the ingredient list.
SO MUCH HEALTHIER!!! Love that you posted this recipe! Saves me a lot of $0.98 packages for when I want to make these myself. Frickin’ eh, I can’t wait!!
That looks great! I’m going to have to give this a try. I’d much rather make my own seasonings than buy them.
I am going to have to try this. I have never made my own fajita mix before, but we really love fajitas. A LOT.
