Kitchen
You can control the sodium content and the heat if
you make your own fajita seasoning or Homemade Taco Seasoning. I found lots of recipes for homemade
fajita seasoning, but many of them called not only for salt, but also for a
crushed chicken bouillon cube, which contains loads of sodium. Make your own using this recipe and then keep
it in your pantry for when you wish to make fajitas. Try Husband-Tested Pineapple Chicken Fajitas
using 2 Tablespoons of this seasoning.
2
Tablespoons chili powder
3 teaspoons
ground cumin
2 teaspoons
freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons
kosher salt**
1 teaspoon
paprika
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
½ teaspoon
garlic powder
½ teaspoon
onion powder
½ teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes
Whisk
together all the ingredients. Store in an airtight container.
**Note about kosher
salt:
By weight, kosher salt and table
salt, contain the same amount of sodium. However, kosher salt has a coarser
grain than fine table salt, which means that it contains less sodium by volume.
In other words, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt yields less sodium than 1 teaspoon of
table salt. (The larger granules of kosher salt can’t clump together as closely
as the fine ones do.) So, when you’re measuring volume amounts for recipes,
you’ll automatically reduce the sodium content if you make the switch to kosher
salt.
