This is a blog about how to tell if your fajita seasoning is bad before you use it. Did you know that many commercially-made fajita seasonings expire? I didn’t know that, until I made my own seasoning and had to figure out how long it would keep.

How to tell if your fajita seasoning is bad:

Step One: The easiest way to tell if your fajita seasoning is bad is to simply look at it. If it appears different from the last time you used it, or from the picture on the package, then it may be spoiled.

Step Two: If your fajita seasoning does not appear spoiled, or if you don’t have any left, then what we do next will help you determine whether or not it has gone bad.

Step Three: In order to test your fajita seasoning for freshness, place some in a bowl and add four tablespoons of water. Mix the solution well and set it aside for five minutes. If any visible particles remain at the bottom of the bowl, then your seasoning has most likely expired and should be discarded. However, if no particles are present in the mixture then your seasoning may still be good.

Step Four: To make sure that your fajita seasoning is good, taste a small amount of the solution that you created in Step Three. If there is a noticeable acidic aftertaste or if your mouth begins to tingle, then you should discard your seasoning because it has most likely gone bad. However, if there is no aftert

In case you don’t have a degree in chemistry, though, I’m going to tell you that the chemicals will react with each other and turn into a solid. In fact, they’ll form little crystals that might be impossible to dissolve again. Then your seasoning will be ruined forever.

Dump out any seasoning that has chunks you can’t dissolve in water.

Then make yourself a new batch of fajita seasoning and enjoy the delicious flavors of homemade fajita seasoning!

(You should probably do this every couple of months or so anyway.)

I was looking at the back of my bottle of homemade fajita seasoning, and trying to figure out how long I could keep it. When I read the ingredients list, I realized that I did not know what some of the ingredients were.

I looked them up online and found that, indeed, a number of ingredients are no longer available. Some of those ingredients may still be available at Mexican food stores or online. The primary one that is not available is called “paprika oleoresin”. It is a type of capsicum in oil, which was used as a red food coloring and preservative in many foods. It is no longer available commercially in this country (USA).

I don’t know if my recipe calls for that ingredient or not.

So my question for you is: do you have any idea what paprika oleoresin is? Have you heard of it? Do you have any ideas where I can find some to look at its color?

My homemade fajita seasoning is a foolproof, delicious blend that we make in batches and keep on hand. It’s delicious on chicken, beef, pork, eggs…anything you’d grill or cook on the stove! I’m sharing the recipe with you today.

Fajita seasoning is a blend of spices that can make a dish taste delicious. The spice mixture can be purchased at the store, or you can make it yourself. Here is a recipe for fajita seasoning that you can use to make your own homemade mix.

Ingredients:* 2 teaspoons chili powder* 1 teaspoon garlic powder* 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper* 1/4 teaspoon paprika* 1/4 teaspoon sugar* 1/4 teaspoon onion powderTo Make the Fajita Seasoning:1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and place in an airtight container. Shake well before using.* To use, sprinkle generously on meat or chicken and then cook as desired.

The fajita spice mix can be used to make fajitas, but it is also good for adding flavor to chicken breasts. You could even take a boneless, skinless chicken breast, pound it flat and cut it into strips if you want to make chicken fajitas.

Taco seasoning mix also makes a good seasoning for ground beef or pork. Just use the amount of taco seasoning called for in the recipe, then prepare meat as described in the recipe.

Why Make Your Own Seasoning Mix?

You can save money by making your own seasoning mix. You may already have some of the spices in your spice rack. If you buy fajita spice mixes at the store, you may be paying more per ounce than some spices cost on their own. And you should be able to find most of them on sale somewhere if you keep your eyes open.

If you make too much, just store extra in an airtight container. It will keep indefinitely — well at least until your family uses it all up!
