Notes
How long does fajita seasoning keep
If you're making this with fresh spices, then it will last for at least a year in your pantry.
Technically, spices never go "bad" and won't be dangerous to use if you keep them around for a long time. But they will lose their potency. Older spices will not be as flavorful, and you may find you need more spice to achieve the same flavor.
