Description

If you’ve spent any time in Mexico, you’re familiar with Tajin – undeniably a cultural icon of Mexico. Tajín seasoning is often used to sprinkle over fresh fruits like mango, watermelon, and pineapple, as well as on vegetables, meats, snacks, and beverages. The spiciness of the chili peppers, the tanginess of the lime, and the saltiness come together to create a vibrant and zesty flavor profile that enhances the natural taste of the ingredients it’s paired with. We chose the arbol, ancho, guajillo and pasilla chilis to create a version of the Tajin spice blend — adding the whole, dried chilis to the mango maceration. We let that sit for several months before straining it and proofing it with a syrup made with those same chilis.
