Need to spice up taco night at your home? Make Fajitas instead! Here’s a simple homemade Fajita Seasoning recipe that you can make with other pantry staples.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

I’m pulling this recipe out of the archives! This recipe for Fajita Seasoning was one of the very first recipes that I posted here on the blog way back in 2009. While it’s a great little recipe if you are looking for a different blend than you standard Taco Seasoning, it needed a little updating so I’ve had it hidden for a few years because I forgot to do the updating!

This is a great recipe that we use for a fajita seasoning mix. It’s really good because you can add as little or as much as you want.

If you do not use chicken bouillon in your home you can leave that ingredient out and add slightly less of the blend to each recipe. Also, you can use homemade chicken stock in it’s place (which is what we do) or it will work just fine if it’s left out entirely.

Remember, you can also dry your own powdered chicken broth to use in recipes like this OR you can use the Faux Bouillon recipe found in my book Little House Living.

Fajita Seasoning Mix

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons cornstarch or another starch
• 2 Tablespoons chili powder
• 1 Tablespoons salt
• 1 Tablespoons sugar Optional
• 2 1/2 teaspoons crushed chicken bouillon cube Optional (can use homemade)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients. Pour into a glass or plastic container and store in a cool dry place.

Keep this recipe in your Recipe Binder and use as needed.

When using this on your fajita meat or ingredients, you’ll want to use about 3 tablespoons. This recipe will make the equivalent of 3 seasoning packets from the store. Three tablespoons will season roughly 1-2 pounds of meat and/or veggies. Depending on how flavorful or spicy you want your dish to be.

If you are making a smaller amount or meat or fajita ingredients you can just use a smaller amount of the mixture.
