Spices
  • 1 tablespoon Chili powder Use fresh, high-quality powder
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika Essential for replacing savory salt notes

  • 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper Adjust to taste for heat

Method
 

  1. Measure all of the spices into a small mixing bowl.

Notes

Chef's Tip: To maximize flavor without salt, 'bloom' 2 tablespoons of this seasoning in a hot skillet with olive oil for 30 seconds before adding your meat or vegetables. Always finish your cooked fajitas with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten the dish.
