fajita-seasoning-blend

There are millions of ways you can make your very own fajita seasoning blend and it will be so special! Besides, everyone loves a good Tex-Mex fix when they see the server coming down the dining area with those hot sizzle plates of meats, seafood, and vegetables. You know you stop talking and stare. You take in that awesome smell! Well, why not do this in your home? It will be cheaper anyways, lol! The birthplace of the fajita is at the Rio Grande border of Texas and Mexico. The cattlemen there, or Vaqueros, were given meat trimmings, entrails, and heads of cattle as part of their payment for working the fields. It was a dish made for portability. You could hold one wrapped fajita in one hand while the other hand was on the horse's reins. There is no record of one baseline fajita blend known. So, this allows you to create your blend! Fajita spice blends are not the same as taco seasoning blends. Fajita has more cumin than tacos. I also offer a few suggestions for how to put more heat/warmth into this as well. This recipe is a mild version.
