Tajin on Fruit The most common application for Tajin is as a flavor enhancer for juicy fruits such as mango, watermelon, and dragon fruit. The bite of citrus from the lime zest, along with the mild heat from the chilies is a beautiful contrast for sweet and succulent fruits.

How to Use Tajin Spices
So how exactly can you use this mildly spicy seasoning? Its good on almost everything, you can think of. In Mexico, locals love to sprinkle it over fresh fruits and vegetables. It adds a wonderfully fresh, citrusy, and piquant taste to the fruit that combines perfectly with the fruits natural sweetness. As Tajín likes to say, it adds a “zing” to everything. For a summer treat it goes well over juicy slices of watermelon and mangos, crunchy bites of apples, or slices of cucumbers and jicama. You can sprinkle it over any of your favorite fruits or vegetables. Use the seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs for chicken, fish, shrimp, and even steak for a completely different flavor. For those of you that love popcorn, next time sprinkle some Tajín over the kernels—its delicious! There really isnt much that Tajín doesnt taste great on.

Types of Tajin
The Tajín product line has several products but their general use is the same across the board. First, and perhaps the most well-known product in their seasoning line is the Tajín Clásico. Then there are the low-sodium version and habanero chile mix. All three contain the same ingredients list, with the only differences being that one uses less salt and another habanero chilies instead of the combination of red peppers that the Clásico uses. When you taste any of the three your mouth puckers with a zesty and savory citrus taste, then it ends with a mild heat.
(Please notice that there are other products in the Tajín line, like their sauces, but we will only be discussing the powdered chile seasonings. To see the full line visit Tajíns page.)
