Looking for a Homemade Fajita Mix

mrsbuzz

So I want to make chicken fajitas but I don't want all the sodium from the back. Does anyone have any recipes for a homemeade mix. I weigh in tomorrow and I don't want a lot of sodium weight going on. Thanks!

I use the Mrs. Dash salt-free Southwest Seasoning mix whenever I make fajitas. It is really awesome.

From SparkPeople:

LOW SODIUM HOMEMADE Taco/ Fajita seasoning blend

Chili powder, 1 tbsp
ground cumin, .33 tbsp
*Black Pepper (Ground), 1.0 tsp
*Dried Oregano, 0.5 tsp
Paprika, 0.5 tsp
Garlic powder, 0.5 tsp
*Onion powder, 1 tsp
Pepper, red or cayenne, 0.25 tsp

Mix all seasonings together.

For Fajita's... add to your own oil/vinegar blend to marinate before grilling.

For taco's ... and to meat along with either 1-4 oz can tomato paste or 1/4 cup chicken stock or water.

If it's too spicy... omitt cayenne pepper.

FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE TO WATCH THEIR SODIUM INTAKE. - ADD 1 TSP KOSHER SALT.


This will replace one whole taco or Fajita seasoning packet you would buy in the store.

I use this one: http://busycooks.about.com/od/homemademixes/r/fajitaseasonmix.htm

I add less salt and I use low-sodium chicken stock cubes. It makes a lot, 1/3 of it is a serving, I think. Oh, and I add less sugar (half sugar, half cinnamon because the cinnamon really adds something.)
