Today, we present an ironclad case for Homemade Fajita Seasoning Mix. Did you know that the leading pre-made packets of fajita seasoning contain corn syrup solids, corn starch, artificial coloring, and something called corn maltodextrin (which your body absorbs as glucose)? Plus, they contain up to 2,000 mg sodium. All so you can have drippy, soupy fajitas that are an assault on the taste buds.

Enough is enough. It takes less than five minutes to make
your own fajita seasoning mix at home (and it makes killer portobello or chicken fajitas). You control the sodium and replace the corn syrup with Lakanto Classic Sweetener for zero glycemic index impact. Sorry, packet bros, you lose.
