Serve tucked inside a small whole wheat or Ezekiel tortilla, OR scoop it all into a crisp lettuce leaf, or on top of a big Salad…YUM!
Weeknight 20-minute meal idea. OR Quick delicious Meal Prep idea!
Yes. Keep this recipe handy because you’ll use it a lot!
Feel free to mix up the veggies to use whatever you have on hand and what you personally love!
We eat chicken a few times each week, so it’s important to have an abundance of DELICIOUS recipes.
âž¡ï¸ What’s really in those seasoning packets?!👀
I love to mix up my own seasonings with organic spices because those little packets of taco seasoning are often made with canola and soybean oils linked to inflammation, sugar, anti-caking agents, and natural flavors. Not to mention, making my own taco seasonings actually tastes WAY better, too!
BEST Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
You’ll never purchase those store-bought packets again after making it yourself!!
So simple, delicious, and lasts for several months – so double or triple this recipe and keep it handy in a small glass container near your stove.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsps chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3 tsps ground cumin
- 2 tsps sea salt
- 2 tsps ground black pepper
Instructions for taco seasonings:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients until combined well. Store in an airtight container.
To use your homemade spice mix in recipes, start with a smaller sprinkle – taste test to decide the amount of spice for your family’s taste. Usually, 2 Tablespoons per pound of meat is perfect.
Serving suggestion:
I’ll often serve these over a big salad for a quick lunch. Fajita chicken salad is so good!
I also love this Chicken Fajita mixture served over cooked brown rice, cauliflower rice, or scooped into a tortilla or crisp lettuce leaf.
Choosing a tortilla:
First up, choose the best tortilla you can get your hands on, which fits your particular nutritional needs.
Ezekiel, Food for Life, and Siete brands all make varieties that I love!
Always read through the ingredients. They should be simple and self-explanatory.
Often these healthier tortillas have a better taste and texture once heated up a bit.
