Tajin and Chamoy Strawberries
Spicy, tangy, juicy and irresistibly delicious, these Tajin and Chamoy strawberries are the perfect fruit snack for any occasion- just like my mango con Tajin- another fruity, spicy Mexican snack.
Whether you're looking for a fancy-schmancy looking snack to feature at your house party or just want to give those strawberries an upgrade, this recipe is a must try! You'll need just 3 simple ingredients and under 10 minutes of hands-on time to put these together.
I've recently been trying a lot of recipes with Mexican ingredients and flavors. The tangy, spicy and salty deliciousness of Mexican cuisine has me hooked, and I made a huge batch of Tajin nuts and roasted Tajin nuts and seeds over the weekend, to enjoy as an on-the-go snack.
I've also tried making apples with Tajin and Chamoy and cucumber and Tajin salad as a light and refreshing snack during the hot summer months, and inspired by the combination of a fresh fruit with these Mexican condiments, I decided to try another recipe.

Recipe Ingredients
Strawberries: Pick fresh, ripe strawberries, ideally ones that are medium or big in size.
Tajin seasoning: Also known as chili lime seasoning, this one's a popular Mexican spice mix that can jazz up almost anything you sprinkle it on. Got a few extra minutes? You can make homemade Tajin seasoning and store it for weeks.
Chamoy: Chamoy is a tangy and spicy paste that's used in Mexican cuisine. I tried making homemade Chamoy sometime back and it turned out incredible, so that's what I've used for this recipe. You can totally use the packaged, store-bought version too!

Substitutions & Variations
- If you can't find Chamoy sauce and don't have the time to make it, just swap it for any tangy and spicy hot sauce of your choice.
- Try using different fruits like pineapples, kiwi, watermelon and mango to dip into the sauce and enjoy a nice Mexican mixed fruit snack, or keep it simple with a single fruit like I did with my watermelon Tajin salad.

Tips & Tricks to Nail the Recipe
- Remember to wash the strawberries thoroughly before you use them for this recipe. If you want, you can soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water for a few minutes to remove any dirt from their surface.
- Also remember to pat dry the strawberries before you dip them in the Chamoy sauce, or it'll all just turn into one big watery mess.
- You can also use skewer sticks or toothpicks to serve the strawberries. I tried to do exactly that, as you can see, but the strawberries just kept sliding out. You can try freezing them first, and then dipping and threading them in the toothpicks- I think that should work well.
- If you have some leftover strawberries, you can give them a quick blitz in your food processor along with some fresh cilantro, onions, jalapenos and lime or lemon juice and turn them into a strawberry salsa.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
You absolutely can! Just make sure you serve them immediately, or they'll start losing water and turning soft.
Store your leftover Chamoy coated strawberries in the refrigerator for up to a day. I wouldn't recommend storing it beyond that point, as the strawberries can lose their texture and become soggy and limp.
