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.)
