Notes
You can double this recipe to make a big batch of seasoning. It’s a time saver to double up, especially if you make a lot of Tex-Mex recipes.
Use 2 Tablespoons of fajita seasoning per 1 pound of meat (chicken, steak, pork, or shrimp). Toss with 1–2 tablespoons of oil before cooking so the spices coat evenly. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for bright, fresh flavor.
Store in a dry place.
