The perfect seasoning can make or break a dish. And in this case, we are talking about the classic Tex- Mex cuisine. The right combination of spices is what makes it so popular and delicious.

Fajita seasoning made with an amazing combination of cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano and cayenne pepper. It’s very similar to taco seasoning mix, but with plenty of ground cumin.

How To Make Homemade Fajita Seasoning

This seasoning is basically a simple mix of spices that you may already have in your pantry. The key spices include ground cumin, paprika and dried oregano. You’ll also need red chili powder and cayenne pepper. If you are after a mild version of this spice mixture, half a teaspoon is all you need for a little extra heat. However, if you love spicy fajitas, feel free to add more red chili powder or cayenne pepper. And lastly, two simple ingredients that are big on flavor, onion powder and garlic powder. Combine everything together, and you have an amazing spice mix to add to your favorite fajitas.
