Pork Fajitas

Monday, October 19, 2009

This meal is made up of 3 recipes, Fajita seasoning, Pork Fajitas, and Apple Salsa.

Fajita Seasoning:
Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp chicken bullion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

Mix everything in a bowl and pour into a spice jar or baggie and label. You will only use a few teaspoons for this recipe, but you can use the seasoning on pork, chicken or beef next time you make fajitas... it tastes much better then the pre-packaged seasoning!

Pork Fajitas
