"Fahita spices" (correctly spelled fajita spices) is a popular Tex-Mex spice blend used to season the meat and vegetables in fajitas. The blend typically centers on chili powder and cumin, providing a warm, earthy, and mildly spicy flavor profile.
Core Ingredients
Fajita seasoning is a simple mixture of common pantry spices. The core components found in most homemade and store-bought blends are:
- Chili Powder: The base of the blend, providing a rich, savory depth.
- Cumin: Adds an essential earthy, warm, and slightly nutty flavor.
- Paprika: Often smoked paprika is used to add a signature smoky note and color.
- Garlic Powder: For aromatic depth.
- Onion Powder: Provides a savory foundation.
- Dried Oregano: Adds an herbal, authentic Mexican or Mediterranean touch.
- Salt & Black Pepper: Essential for balancing and enhancing all the other flavors.
Common Variations
Other ingredients can be added to customize the flavor and heat profile:
- Cayenne Pepper: Used to add an extra kick of heat, adjustable to personal preference.
- Sugar (or Brown Sugar): A hint of sugar can help the meat and vegetables caramelize during cooking and balances the other spices.
- Coriander: Some blends include ground coriander for a brighter, slightly citrusy flavor.
- Cornstarch: Store-bought mixes often include cornstarch or other anti-caking agents, or thickeners, which can also help create a thicker sauce if desired
