Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and sugar.

    Whisk the ingredients together until well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Transfer the fajita seasoning to an airtight container or jar for storage.

        For use, simply sprinkle over cooked chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetables. A good rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of protein or veggies.

          For a deeper flavor, you can let marinated proteins sit with the seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
