Homemade Tajin Seasoning Recipe
This homemade Tajin seasoning is a popular Mexican spice blend that is a salty, tangy, chili lime seasoning that lends a fun twist to all your favorite dishes!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon guajillo chile powder
- 2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon pink salt
- 2 teaspoon dehydrated lime juice powder
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Give it a good mix and transfer it to an airtight jar to store for later.
Notes
- I would highly recommend you use dehydrated lime for this homemade Tajin spice. The tangy flavor it lends is unmatched. If you can’t find it, you can use a dash of citric acid instead.
- If you can’t find either of these, you can add some fresh lime zest into the mix to get that citrusy lime flavor you’re looking for.
- I would also recommend slightly dry roasting the chillies in a pan and letting them cool down before you grind them. This will help release their natural aroma and lend the chile lime seasoning an extra intense flavor.
