Tajín
Original Tajín, the chili lime seasoning for fruit, corn and michelada rims: Clásico, low sodium, habanero and the rimmer.
What is Tajín?
Tajín (pronounced ta-HEEN) is a Mexican seasoning made from mild chili peppers, dehydrated lime and salt. It tastes more tangy and salty than hot, so it works on almost anything you'd squeeze lime over. It's one of those bottles that's always on the table in a Mexican home.
What do you put Tajín on?
On cut fruit like mango, watermelon, pineapple, cucumber and jícama; on elotes and esquites; on the rim of micheladas, margaritas and mangonadas; and over popcorn, chips and peanuts. Add a drizzle of chamoy and it gets even better. It's the easiest way to give a plate of fruit a Mexican touch.

What's the difference between Tajín and chamoy?
Tajín is a chili, lime and salt powder; chamoy is a sweet and sour sauce. They're often used together: chamoy first, then Tajín.

Run a lime wedge around the rim, then dip the glass upside down into Tajín on a plate or in the rimmer. For more flavor, use chamoy instead of lime.
