Fajitas with Homemade Seasoning Mix

Fajita Seasoning Mix

The great thing about making your own seasoning mix for fajitas is that you can adjust the mix to taste (plus in my opinion this recipe tastes better than the packet mix anyway!).  I make a batch for us and a separate batch for Cameron without the salt and reducing the chilli powder so it's not too spicy for him. There's enough taste in the mix to omit the chilli powder altogether if your child doesn't like any spice. If you make a large batch the mix can be stored happily in plastic containers so you have it to hand whenever you make fajitas rather than making a fresh mix.

1 tbsp cornflour
2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp crushed chicken bouillon cube (or granules - Knorr do a jar of low salt/no MSG granules)
1/2 tsp onion powder or granules
1/4 tsp garlic powder or granules
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
(around 2tbsp of this mix is the equivalent of a packet of seasoning mix)

To serve:
Chopped Chicken, Sliced Red Pepper, Sliced Green Pepper, Chopped Tomatoes, Grated Cheese, Sour Cream, Tortillas/Pitta
- for kids serve with small pitta pockets so they can fill themselves with the chicken, cheese, tomatoes & sour cream (or alternatively creme fraiche if not keen on sour cream)
