Prep Time- 5 minutes | Makes enough spice mix for 1 pound of Fajitas (meat or veg!)
This Fajita Spice Mix takes out all the guesswork and the additives! Easily enjoy an impressive dinner without the impressive effort!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Upon adding the spice mix to your food- 1/4 Cup Water or preferred Stock (I use vegetable stock)
* See notes at the bottom for ingredient alternatives and other ideas!
Instructions:
1- Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container for 3-6 months (If you don’t use it by then!)
When adding the spice mix to your fajitas:
1- Prepare your fajita vegetables and/ or meat in a large pan.
2- Add 1/4 Cup of water (or stock) and let it get hot enough to just boil.
3- Add the spice mix and stir everything together really well. The Cornstarch will act as the thickening agent so that you have delicious fajita-sauce goodness clinging to your food.
NOTES:
ALTERNATIVES– Feel free to change this up to suit your flavor and heat preference! I usually add more Cayenne for heat and more Garlic and Onion Powders because that’s how I like it. Sometimes I Omit the cinnamon because that’s how I feel that day. It’s super easy to make this exactly how you want it!
