I am trying to make more Seasonings from scratch. I have a good taco seasoning, do you have any good ones for ranch, fajita, gravy, etc.?

    I have a good fajita one. I also would recommend changing the chili powder and/or cayenne depending in your preference for heat. I would keep the cornstarch in it for fajitas but if you want to use it as a marinade before grilling and not in the sauce then probably ok to omit it.
    1 TBL cornstarch
    2 tsp chili powder (I tend to use more)
    1/2 tsp of salt (it originally had a full teaspoon and tasted good but I cut it back and don't notice any difference).
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp sugar
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp cayenne (increase in small amounts, a little cayenne goes far)
    1/2 tsp cumin

    I put it over the chicken and veggies and add water as needed (maybe 3/4 of a cup).

    If you try it let me know what you think.
