In the event you keep away from sugar, dairy or gluten, making your personal seasonings can provide you peace of thoughts. You may also select to make use of all natural spices if you want.
• Limitless provide – In the event you make fajitas as usually as we do, it’s annoying to depend on store-bought seasoning packets. This manner, I at all times have what I want and if I run out I can at all times make extra.
• Tastes wonderful – I swear by the flavors on this recipe. It tastes so good and my complete household loves it.

If I’m making a dish just for myself, I’ll use this seasoning and add extra crimson chili flakes and extra chili powder to convey up the spice a bit.

Shelf Life
