As long as you are on this topic here is a recipe for fajita seasoning. I also do ten times and keep it in a quart jar....
Fajita Seasoning

4 tbsp chili pwdr

2 tsp grnd oregano

2 tsp garlic salt

Stir well and store air tight.....use as you would the pkts....using 2-3 tbsps of mix instead.....
I like to use left over meat, chicken, turkey, steak or roast. I cut the meat in strips then put it in the pan with strips of onion and gr pepper. Then add 2-3 tbsp of fajita seasoning and just a couple tbsp of water. Cook fast on a high heat... add only a little water if needed, a tbsp at a time until the veggies are tender enough. Then place on flour shell with cheese and what ever you like....YUM!
Beef Jerky

Combine all ingredients except meat. Have Butcher slice lean beef 1/4 inch in thickness (or freeze until ice crystals form then cut it into thin slices, across grain with a very sharp knife). Marinate meat in the other ingredients (8-12 hours). Spread evenly on drying rackes. Dry in Dehydrator at 130 degrees for 8 to 12 hours.
