A small batch of chili powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne that replaces one store-bought fajita seasoning packet.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  • Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl, or shake them together in a zip-top bag.
  • Use the whole batch in place of one store-bought fajita seasoning packet.
  • When you stir-fry the meat or chicken, add the seasoning with a splash of lime juice and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

Notes

About 2 tablespoons of mix equals one store-bought packet. Make several batches at once and store them in labeled bags or a jar.
