All-Purpose Mexican Seasoning image

Don't buy MSG-loaded Adobo, Sauzon, or store-bought fajita seasoning. Combine with oil and use it to marinate corn, chickpeas, potatoes, and beans for a crispy healthy snack, and it's also great for tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, and I swear by this seasoning for my arroz con frijoles. It works for other Latin American foods too.

I was looking for a simple all-purpose Mexican seasoning and this one fit the bill. It's easy to make and has a great flavor. I've used it on chicken, beef, and pork and it's been great every time.

This seasoning is amazing! I used it on some chicken breasts and they turned out so flavorful and juicy. I will definitely be using this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit! The seasoning is perfect - not too spicy, but still flavorful. I like to use it on chicken, beef, and even vegetables. It's also great for making tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes
