Taco Bell Chicken Fajita Seasoning Mix recipe

A couple years ago Taco Bell and Kraft Foods got together to produce a line of products – everything from taco kits to salsas and spice mixes – all stamped with the familiar Taco Bell logo and available in supermarkets across the country.

The idea was a winner, and now the Taco Bell line of products is among Kraft’s top sellers. The clone of this mix, made with a combination of common spices and cornstarch, can be kept indefinitely until your brain’s fajita-craving neurons begin firing.

When you’re set to cook, you’ll just need some chicken, a bell pepper, and an onion, and then you simply follow the same instructions that you find on the package of the real thing.

Taco Bell Chicken Fajita Seasoning Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Taco Bell Chicken Fajita Seasoning Instructions
