Fajita seasoning? - Mare749 - 04-23-2007
Does anyone have a recipe for fajita seasoning? I don't really like to buy those packets if it can be avoided.
Thanks!

I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but this a fajita seasoning used in Chevy's/Rio Bravo's fajitas. It's from the book.
Fuego Spice Mix
1/4 cup paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons chile powder
2 tablespoons oregano
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Store in an airtight container, out of direct light, for up to 6 months.
And that's "chile powder" with an "e" not an "i"...not sure if that makes a difference, but it might.

I use a shaker of Zach's fajita seasoning to taste and add garlic powder and pepper to taste--liberal amounts--rub in and let sit 30 minutes or so before grilling. (Beef)

Thanks TK, that's what I was looking for.
Bill, your idea sounds good too, except that I haven't seen Zach's in Ohio. I'll keep my eyes open for it though.

Maryann, I'm pretty sure you have Dollar General there. They have a Latin section where you can get Adobo garlic spice. It has black pepper and I'm not sure what else already in it. That and some Cayenne works for me with chicken fajitas

Cis, thank you! Adobo seasoning is readily available everywhere here, I just didn't know what it was used for.
