5 Recipes for Using Leftover Rice

Making a homemade fajita seasoning is easy and you can control what goes into it. Many of the store-bought seasonings have unnecessary added sugars and preservatives that are not necessary.

I often find myself with a lot of leftover rice. This is one of my favourite ways to use that rice up. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

There are a lot of benefits to having your own homemade fajita seasoning mix on hand:

It’s quick and easy to make.

You can adjust the amounts to suit your taste.

You know exactly what’s in it.

You can make it fresh each time you need it.

You’ll save money, because it will cost much less than store-bought mixes.

Here’s how to make it:

2 tablespoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or one half of a fresh clove of garlic) 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more or less, depending on how spicy you want it) 4 tablespoons salt Store this mixture in an airtight container, and use as needed for seasoning meat, vegetables, and rice dishes. You can also use it as a rub for meats before grilling or roasting. It’s especially good with chicken, pork or fish.

One secret about Homemade Fajita Seasoning that even the Mexican restaurants don’t know – is that it’s saltier than the store bought. That’s because in the store they are trying to sell the same seasoning over and over again and they can’t leave it too salty or people won’t buy as much.

Pouring off some of the liquid before adding to your beef cuts back on the saltiness, but I feel it takes away from the flavor.*

*I really have no idea if this is true or not, but that’s what I use for my reasoning ;). My husband LOVES this on fajitas but I wasn’t sure about it at first because it seemed super salty to me. But we like spicy food so I figured I’d try it anyway! It was great! We love it now! (We do our own little ‘spicy’ thing with this recipe)

Yum yum yummy yummy in my tum tum tummy!! 🙂 This recipe was great! It made a lot more than I thought it would, which was good. The only thing I would change is adding less salt, maybe 2 tbsp instead of 2 tsp

When I was a young girl my mom used to make this seasoning up and store it in an old spice jar. It was so good on everything. So today I am going to share with you our family recipe for Homemade Fajita Seasoning.

Here is what you will need:

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/4 teaspoon Onion powder

1/4 teaspoon Oregano

1/4 teaspoon Paprika

1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)

Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and use it to season chicken, beef, or pork before grilling them. You can also use it as a dry rub for chicken or pork by mixing it with some oil in a large bowl and rubbing it on the meat. This will give the meat an awesome flavor! Now you know how to make fajita seasoning at home!
