Homemade Chili Seasoning Recipe and Fajita Seasoning Mix | Easy From-Scratch Pantry Dry Mixes

Homemade Fajita Seasoning — A Farmstead Friday Pantry Taste Test

If you have been looking for a homemade fajita seasoning that is simple, clean, and full of real flavor — you are in the right place. This week’s Farmstead Friday took us right into the kitchen, with two jars on the counter and honest taste buds at the table.

We restocked our homemade fajita seasoning and our chili seasoning this week — and we have to say, that chili seasoning turned out really good. Building a pantry from scratch is not about doing everything at once. It is about tasting, adjusting, and getting it right — one jar at a time.

Why Homemade Fajita Seasoning Is Worth Making From Scratch

Most store-bought seasoning packets are full of ingredients you cannot pronounce — fillers, anti-caking agents, and more sodium than any meal needs. When you make your own homemade fajita seasoning from scratch, you control every single thing that goes into it.

That means cleaner ingredients. Better flavor. And a pantry you can actually feel good about.

Our homemade fajita seasoning is made in small batches with simple spices you likely already have on hand. No fillers. No mystery ingredients. Just real, honest flavor that makes every meal taste like it came from a kitchen that cares.

And once you taste the difference — you will never go back to the packet.

Two Seasonings, Two Very Different Opinions

Here is the thing about taste testing in this house — we do not always agree. And that is exactly what makes it useful.

Me? I am a mild chili kind of woman. If it is warm and flavorful without setting my mouth on fire, I am happy. My husband prefers medium to hot. If it does not have a little kick, he is not convinced it is finished yet.

So every taste test becomes a conversation — and usually a compromise that makes the final recipe better than either of us would have come up with alone. That is just part of doing things carefully and right.

How do you like your chili — mild, medium, or hot? That question alone tells you a lot about a person. Around here we have learned to make both work — a base recipe that satisfies the mild preference with just enough depth to keep the heat lovers happy with a simple pinch more. That is the beauty of making your own homemade fajita seasoning and chili seasoning from scratch. You are always in control of the flavor.

If you want to try our chili seasoning or homemade fajita seasoning in your own kitchen, you can find them both in Momma Missy’s Pantry.

What Is Sip and Snack Saturday

Sip and Snack Saturday is our weekly rhythm of slowing down, tasting, and building the pantry one jar at a time. It is not about rushing. It is not about perfection. It is about intentional, from-scratch living — and sharing the honest moments along the way.

Next Saturday at 10 AM we will be sharing our dry mix recipes for Italian breadcrumbs and pork and chicken seasoning coatings — similar to shake-and-bake, but without all the ingredients you cannot pronounce. Clean, simple, and made with intention.

Come back and join us. We would love to have you at the table.

One Jar at a Time

“She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household.” — Proverbs 31:15 KJV

There is something deeply meaningful about feeding your family well. Not just with food — but with intention. With care. With the kind of slow, faithful work that does not always get noticed but always gets felt.

Building a from-scratch pantry one jar at a time is exactly that kind of work. It is not glamorous. But it is good. And every jar you fill is one more act of faithful provision for the people at your table.

Keep a record of your pantry recipes, your taste test notes, and what God is teaching you through the simple work of your kitchen with our Bread and Blessings Kitchen Prayer Journal.
