Fajita Seasoning/Spice Mix

Overview

Does anyone else have a problem finding Old Elpasso Fajita seasoning? I have no trouble finding their other products, just this one. In the end, I decided to create a recipe of my own. There are many fajita seasoning recipes around, but they are waaaay too hot for my partner's taste buds.

After much tweaking, I have come up with one that still leaves a tingle on your taste buds but doesn't have you rushing for a glass of milk!


Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp corn flour
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp paprika powder
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1/4 tsp capsicum flakes (optional)
  • 2 1/2 tsp chicken or beef stock powder
  • 1.5 tsp onion flakes
  • 1/2 tsp garlic granuals
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Method
  1. Grind the garlic granules and onion flakes to a fine powder.
  2. Add the dried oregano and parsley and grind for a little while to break the flakes up.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoughrally.

Notes
Even though I give the option of using chicken or beef stock powder, I have found that the beef stock powder tastes great on chicken!
