Fajita Seasoning Mix

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.
