Servings: 4 teaspoons
Course: Condiments
Cuisine: Mexican

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
