This Texas dry rub was easy to throw together, using ingredients that I keep in my spice drawer. I don’t normally like onion and garlic powder as I find that they can have a metallic taste; however, I always have them because most rubs seem to call for them. The only ingredient that some folks might not have would be the ancho chile powder, but these days that seems to be easy to find. I keep a collection of different chile powders which I buy at a bulk store that I like to shop at or I buy them at Mexican markets. They are also available online, so I would recommend folks keep some on hand for recipes like this one.
This Texas dry rub was easy to make and gave the flank steak a flavorful southwestern flavor. I will definitely be using the extra seasoning that I made. For the chile powder, I was unable to find ancho chile powder, so I used a packet of dried chile powder from the produce section of the grocery store called El Guapo New Mexico Chile Powder.

This Texas dry rub came together quickly and easily and made enough for a few more uses in addition to the fajitas. I don’t use seasoned salt so instead of buying any I just made my own (thanks, Internet!).
