Fajitas are awesome, especially with that homemade fajita seasoning. It is really easy to make and your friends will be impressed!

We love to make fajitas for dinner at our house. They are quick and easy to prepare, but delicious and different than anything else we usually make.

Here is a basic recipe for fajita seasoning:

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves, crumbled

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Store in an air-tight container in a cool dry place. This will keep for several months. You can use this spice mixture on other types of meat such as chicken or beef, or even sprinkle it on vegetables before grilling them.

Creating homemade fajita seasoning allows you to add this blend to your favorite meats before grilling or sauteing.

Taste the difference!

Really great fajitas are all about two things: the marinade and the sauce. The marinade is where you get the flavor, but it’s the sauce that will make your fajitas sing. Not only does a good sauce provide an amazing array of flavors in your mouth, but it also acts as a glue for the rest of the ingredients.
