What is the difference between Taco Seasoning and Fajita Seasoning?

Question

All I can figure out on the packages is that it must be the spices, and more and more things are just listing "Spices" as their ingredients. What's the difference between Taco & Fajita Seasoning mixes/packets, because taco seasoning is 34 cents, and fajita is 50 cents. Is there a way to turn taco seasoning into fajita seasoning?

Answer 1

Grief, DONT use either.  They are a complete waste of money.  If you regularly cook, you already have all the spices that you need in your own kitchen.  There is no ONE way to spice tacos versus fajitas.  In a mexican kitchen, it's pretty much salt, pepper, lemon and the occasional dab of cumin or cilantro, it's really all about the salsa.  skip the package and create your own to your taste.

Answer 2

fajita meat is wayy diffrrent from taco meat ,you need a way stronger seasoning to get flavor on it

Answer 3

fajitas have lime juice

Answer 4

Yeah, if you use a little vinegar (1-2 tablespoons) with your taco seasoning, it will be the same as your fajita seasoning. Especially good with chicken. Taco seasoning is a bit saltier, though.
