A coworker requested that I assemble a gift basket for a silent auction, and I needed some seasoning packets for it. I’ve been wanting to create a fajita seasoning for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity to finally do it.

Ingredients: 

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional) 

Instructions: 

Mix all ingredients well, put into an airtight container and store for up to 1 year. 

To make into a marinade (spice paste):

2 Tablespoons avocado oil or olve oil, juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), 2 garlic cloves, minced. Mix well, add your meat and veggies, let sit for at least an hour, but not longer than 4 hours. 

For this gift basket, I chose to make the seasoning without salt and included an extra packet of just salt, providing the winner with both options.
