Mexican Spice mix for Fajitas or Tacos

The Kitchen Pixies discourage the use of packaged seasoning mixes because they are quite expensive compared to the few pennies worth of ingredients in them. Additionally, making your own allows you to control salt and other additives your family may not want to eat.
