Fajitas spice mix is always good to have in the cupboard, it adds that tasty kick to so many dishes. I make this to use for Fajitas, but it can be tweaked to accommodate your chosen spice levels. You can use this for Enchilada, Quesadilla and Burrito's. Its so easy to add in more things or making it hotter depending on the people you are feeding, but this is good as a base and kids like it too.
Fajita Spic Mix
Use a pestle and mortar or a blender with a grinder to mix up all the ingredients. Then store in an air tight jar.
You can tweak this recipe by adding smoked Paprika if you like it hot, or You can add fresh garlic, ginger,lime juice and coriander, at the cooking stage to add a fresher flavour.
