Make Chicken Fajitas at Home!
We’re trying to eat at home more often rather than dining out. To keep things interesting, we develop recipes for the meals we love to order when dining in restaurants.
Unquestionably, the key to this recipe for us was finding the right seasoning. I’ve bought many of the packet Fajita seasoning mixes found in your local grocery stores. To me, they lacked the flavor I wanted.
The Product That Makes Chicken Fajitas Oh So Good
One of our go-to brands is Lawry’s, sold on Amazon in larger packages for commercial kitchens. The large packet of Lawry’s Fajita Seasoning Mix contains 63 teaspoons, which would be enough for use in 7 recipes following what we do. We have it on our auto-order list with Amazon, which reduces the price far below what we’d spend if we bought individual packets (of something we don’t like nearly as much!). We pour the large packet into a plastic zip-lock-type container for storage.
Other Lawry’s Products
Lawry’s also sells the following products intended for commercial kitchens: Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix (I have another recipe I need to share with you that will be coming up next week: I make Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers that are great), Taco Seasoning Mix (I’ll also be sharing my recipe for Crockpot Tex-Mex Chicken Tacos), Chili Seasoning Mix, and Mexican Rice Seasoning Mix (I have that one too but haven’t tried it yet). When you figure out how many meals you can get from each large package, it’s a bargain! The best part is the taste – there’s a big difference between Lawry’s and other brands.
