Homemade Chili Lime Seasoning (Tajin)
Homemade Chili Lime Seasoning combines dried lime zest with a mix of red chile powder, cayenne, paprika, and salt to create a tangy, mildly spicy blend. The lime zest is dried overnight to intensify its citrus flavor, providing a bright complement to the smoky and spicy chili powders. This seasoning can be used to add a vibrant kick to snacks, vegetables, or meats.
