This tex-mex spice blend is bursting with the earthy, spicy, robust flavors that will bring your fajitas to the next level.
And because you are making it from scratch, you can adjust the heat with more cayenne and or give it more earthy notes by adding more cayenne. It only takes about 5 minutes and you can rest easy knowing there are no hidden chemicals or preservatives.
To make a marinade for steak, chicken, shrimp, or even vegetable fajitas, add the spice mix to 2 cups of liquid, pineapple juice, mango juice, apple juice, or beer with 2 tbsp of oil, the juice of a lime, and 2 cloves garlic minced.
A spice grinder does not take up much space and can be easily stored away, And if you are going to be making your own spices, I highly recommend adding one to your kitchen essentials
Don’t grind this spice blend into a dust; all it needs is two or three pulses; breaking up the spices this way helps release their oils and brings out their flavor.
So have fun and be creative, and until next time, safe cruising

Instructions

- I like to salt and pepper my meat before cooking so I can control the salt levels, If you prefer to add in your salt, simple add 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of the pepper mill to the grinder before pulseing
without a grinder
- Place all ingredients in a jar or something with a tight-fitting lid and shake well.
