Fajita seasoning recipe

I like fajitas, but the packets of fajita seasoning have a fair amount of salt in them. I've analysed the contents of packets I've used, and come up with a blend of spices that allows you to substitute the salt content for a salt substitute

I think I'm missing a few things - I can't get powdered lime or lemon, and I haven't included oregano, which is used in some packets, as well as artificial flavours. However, I don't think it lacks much because of those omissions

I've made quite a lot - this recipe makes about 150g, or 30-40 portions of fajita mix. Most fajita seasoning packs have 30 grammes, which are good for 5-8 portions.

• 50g mild chilli powder
• 25g salt substitute
• 15g onion powder or granules
• 15g sugar
• 13g cumin powder
• 12g garlic powder
• 6g cinnamon
• 5g nutmeg
• 5g cayenne
• 4g coriander
