Why We Love This Fajita Seasoning Recipe
Fajita seasoning is a delicious blend of dried herbs and spices made from pantry staples you probably already have on hand. There’s no need to make an extra trip to the store when you can make this seasoning blend at home!
Turning Fajita Seasoning into a Marinade
When you are ready to use your fajita seasoning, whisk together 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning with 3 tablespoons of canola oil, 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice until well incorporated. You can marinate shrimp, chicken, or steak with this mix!
How to Store
I tend to find that store-bought spice blends tend to go stale and lose their flavor and aroma pretty quickly, but no such worries with this homemade fajita seasoning! Make sure the spices and herbs you are using have a good shelf life and store the mix in a cupboard in an air tight container and it will be good for up to 4 months. To check if your spice mix is still good to use, grab a little between your fingers and rub. If it has a strong aroma you are good to go!
Serving Suggestions
