We love our taco seasoning mix. It has a great spicy flavor that is perfect with ground beef for tacos. For fajitas we use this mix. Fajita seasoning mix doesn’t just have to be used on fajitas. We enjoy it mixed in (about a tablespoons worth) with sautéed bell peppers and sweet onions (one each medium green and red bell peppers and a medium sweet onion). The combination makes for the perfect burgers and hot dogs topping.
Use This Everywhere
You can also sprinkle a bit of this fajita seasoning mix on hot dogs, grill them, and serve them on buns topped with the fajita-seasoned veggies. Add a little cheese too. We chopped the peppers and onion for the hot dogs. More fajita seasoning is a good thing.
We seasoned a few home-ground beef patties with the mix, grilled them, then served them topped with the veggies, which were sliced.
Make a big batch of this and keep it in an airtight container in your pantry. This mix is perfect on beef. For chicken fajitas, try my chicken seasoning.
