This chilli lime seasoning recreates that candy-like sour, savoury, smoky, and spicy taste of Tajín Seasoning.
Servings4 teaspoons
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon mild chilli powder or fine flakes
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon citric acid
- ¼ teaspoon ground black lime powder , lime zest, or dehydrated lime juice powder
Instructions
- If your chilli flakes are very coarse, grind the chilli mix in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Otherwise, add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.
Notes
- Add the smoked paprika if your chilli flakes don’t have a smoky flavour.
- You can make ground black lime powder at home.
- If you don't require a dry seasoning blend, you can also use lime juice instead of lime powder or zest to create a great Tajín substitute.
