tajin
Mexican fruit seasoning
Tajín is a Mexican seasoning blend of chili peppers, lime, and salt, used to add tangy heat to fresh fruit, vegetables, and snacks.
The bright red powder appears on mango slices, corn on the cob, and cucumber at street vendors and in American kitchens alike: She sprinkled Tajín on her watermelon.
The name comes from a brand that has become nearly synonymous with this flavor profile.
