What it is

Fajita seasoning is a blend of dried and ground spices commonly used to flavor dishes, particularly those inspired by Mexican cuisine. It typically includes ingredients like chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add fajita seasoning to provide a distinct savory and slightly smoky flavor profile to various food products. It is frequently used in prepared meats like chicken or beef strips, frozen dinners, and ready-to-eat meals to create a fajita-style taste.

Health notes

The individual spices that make up fajita seasoning are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as flavorings. There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies associated with fajita seasoning as a blend. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices and found them safe for consumption. As with any food product containing salt, excessive consumption could contribute to high sodium intake, which the FDA Daily Value recommends limiting to 2,300 mg per day.
