Notes

How to use the spice blend
Fajita seasoning is not just for chicken alone, it is great with steak, shrimp, and even vegetables. It can be used as a dry rub or marinade and is simple to use, all you need to do is marinate the meat of choice with the seasoning mix and oil of choice.
Use 1 tablespoon of this DIY spice blend to 2 pounds of meat or chicken. You can always adjust the seasoning to taste but 1 Tablespoon is a good starting point. See how I used it with chicken in my chicken fajita recipe.
