What is Fajita Seasoning Made of? What does Fajita Seasoning Contain?

Typically it will include a mix of smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper. I also like to add a little sweetness with some monk fruit/allulose.

What Can I Use if I Don’t Have Fajita Seasoning?

I would recommend using Taco Seasoning, because it has most of the same spices.

What is the Difference Between Taco Seasoning and Fajita Seasoning?

I personally make both and in my Taco Seasoning mix, I add red pepper flakes, dried oregano and more chili powder, verses this Fajita Seasoning mix which has more smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and no dried oregano.

Does Fajita Seasoning Have Carbs?

There’s only 1 carb per serving in this low carb fajita seasoning, which makes 12 servings total.
