Fajita Seasoning Mix

We really enjoyed the chicken fajitas I made for supper using your wonderful Fajita Seasoning Mix. It's so quick to mix and tastes a million times better than commercial seasonings! Believe I've bought my last packaged! Thanks a bunch for posting. Laudee C.

This recipe is out friggin' standing!
I was using Taco Bell brand packaged fajita mix prior to finding this recipe. I never thought anything could be as good as the T.B. packages. When the packages became hard to come by, I thought I'd experiment with some homemade mixes.
When I saw that this recipe had over 110 positive reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot.
Aaaah maaazing...
It's actually BETTER than the. seasoning that I've been using for years. Made the recipe exactly as described, and used about one Tablespoon per pound of cooked chicken meat. I'll probably experiment with adding a bit more 'heat' ala cayenne and crushed red pepper, (because I have a preference for hot food) but this recipe is fantastic right out of the box.

I love to make my own mixes and this one is a winner!!! Way less expensive when you figure out the cost of making vs. buying. Great flavor!!!!

Not bad but too much salt if you ask me. I cut the salt in half, omitted the bullion, doubled the cumin, and quadrupled the garlic powder. Ended up with just as much flavor with less sodium.

I saw the comments about this not tasting like Lawry's... I think I found the "trick", add lime juice and worchestershire sauce to meat. My husband is also a die hard Lawry's fan!!! I've tried other fajita recipes in the past and he disliked every one... until now. He said these were the best ever! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I felt the recipe did need the extra "kick" of lime & worchestershire.

Made fajitas with leftover turkey, red peppers, and onions with this - had to use the whole batch and added a little water to the mix while frying. I was a little nervous using this recipe with the turkey (I also added a little lime juice that was left over in a bottle) but we loved it! My 2 year old daughter ate 3 fajitas herself!

This was wonderful! Perfect balance of sweet, salty and spicy. I had a couple tiny changes- I used pepper flakes instead of the cayenne because I didn't have any, and also added a tiny bit of cinnamon (combining your recipe with another I found on recipezaar). I used it to make my very first chicken fajitas! Thanks for posting :)

Based on other reviews, I marinated my beef strips in Worcestershire & fresh squeezed lime juice. I also salted the beef before adding it to my zip lock bag along with the marinade. Only thing is.... I forgot to rinse the meat & pat dry before throwing it all into my cast iron skillet - Oops. I sauteed it all up with plenty of the Fajita seasoning anyway (minus half the salt called for sense I had salted the beef already), and it still came out good. It DID taste a bit too much of Worcestershire... but that was my fault. I only gave this 4 stars however because of my next discovery....... I have Celiac Disease & some food allergies, so I cannot have Gluten as well as soy & corn. Those ingredients are found in this recipe, so I omitted them for my personal serving - No corn starch, chicken bouillon, or Worcestershire. I did sautee my beef strips in fresh lime juice & Coconut Aminos (a soy sauce alternative). I then sprinkled my g-free, allergy-free Fajita seasoning across it, sauteed till heated thru' and.... Wow. It tasted so much better without the missing ingredients!! (Yes, I tasted the original batch even tho' I shouldn't have, and yes, I paid for it). Seriously, I wouldn't add those other ingredients back in if even I could eat them. The flavor was sooo much more clear & delish! I think the starch & bouillon sort of muddied up & made the seasoning blander. I'd like to encourage you all to try it this way!

Excellent! As good or better than store bought. Like most people I had to goof some. I used 1/2 tsp. Onion and Garlic salt rather than plain salt. I put in 1 tsp. lemon peel. I used smokey paprika. I 1 tsp. Oregano and 1/2 teaspoon black and 1/2 white pepper. I also used Chipotle chilli 1/4 tsp.<br/><br/>I omitted the sugar. <br/><br/>I guess I goofed with the recipe more than I thought :P

This was a fabUlous mixture of seasonings! It was used for the intended chicken fajitas w/a sweet mini pepper mix, sour cream and warm corn tortillas -yummers. I didn't have any paprika avail (gasp!) so I substituted 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp fresh coarse ground pepper. No harm no foul. Th family was gaga. Sooo, now, I'm looking for like anything and everything to use this super fantastic seasoning on or with! Thank you for sharing Kathy!!!

This was easy, I had all the ingredients. I will make this again. It needed a little more salt.

Really wonderful seasoning mix, I stumbled on this recipe when I forgot to get a packet at the store and didn't want to run back out. Hands down better than anything from a packet, this is a wonderful recipe. I used 1 Tbsp of the mix with 1 cup of water in the chicken and it thickened up nice and saucy. Yum!

Easy to make, and it even tastes better than the store-bought seasoning. Thank you!

ran out of my store bought mix, found this and it was fantastic. added some lime juice to the chicken and substituted red pepper flakes (small amount so it wouldn't bother the kids) for the cayenne pepper. Huge hit!
