FAQS:
Some people are unfamiliar about the spice, Tajin, so here’s some information for you:
- Firstly, Tajin is actually a brand name, not just a type of chili lime salt!
- Further more, It’s a Mexican seasoning that is made with chili peppers, dehydrated lime juice, and salt.
- Surprisingly Tajin is often used as a condiment for fruits and vegetables, or as a seasoning for meats and poultry.
- It can also be used to rim cocktails, like in this recipe.
Regardless of the use Tajin the name comes from a Mexican hard candy called a Vero Rebanaditas paletas con Chile.
This classic cocktail has been around for a couple of decades and seems to have originated from Mexico and around the border towns, like El Paso, Texas. Pair it with a Mexican beer for a fun spicy treat!
