The fajita seasoning is made with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and ground cumin. The smoked paprika gives it a delicious smoky flavor.
I recommend using a high-quality smoked paprika for this recipe. It will have a stronger, more smoky taste than the regular paprika you’ll find in most stores.
Smoked paprika has a smoky, spicy, and earthy flavor that pairs well with most meats. It can also be substituted for the traditional sweet paprika you’ll find in many recipes.
For a slightly sweeter fajita seasoning, you can add a touch of brown sugar. It will help caramelize the meat and vegetables, giving them a nice sear.
It’s important to note that this fajita seasoning is salty, so you may want to add less of it than the recipe calls for if you have a low-salt diet. You can also reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne if you’re trying to keep your sodium intake in check.
If you’re not a fan of the chili powder, add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a more subtly spicy flavor. Or omit it entirely for an overall milder flavor.
You can also omit the cornstarch in this recipe, if you’re on a keto or low carb diet. The cornstarch will help to thicken the fajita mixture and keep the juices in the meat instead of running off onto the pan.
This fajita seasoning is a quick and easy DIY recipe that can be made in the microwave in about a minute or less. It’s also a healthy choice to make because it uses only quality, natural ingredients without added MSG, corn maltodextrin, or other additives commonly found in store-bought fajita seasoning packets. It’s also more inexpensive to make than store-bought fajita spices, so it’s a great option for anyone on a budget!
