Smoky Citrus Fajita Rub

A smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet dry rub balancing garlic, citrus zest, and warming spices to punch up grilled meat or veggies. Replaces some classic elements with lemon zest and chipotle for boldness. Cornstarch swapped with arrowroot for a cleaner thickener. Reduce salt, raise coriander for brightness, and swap sugar for honey powder to avoid clumps. Mix spices dry - granules matter. Store airtight, away from humidity. Recognize doneness by color deepening and aroma spike, not clock. Handles substitutions like smoked salt if no regular salt, or dried thyme if oregano’s absent. Efficient prep with a handheld whisk or mini grinder. Textured, aromatic, versatile.
