How to Make Tajin Popcorn on the Stove Top
- Making this crunchy and savory snack in a pot over the stovetop is super easy.
- All you’ll need to do is add the olive oil and corn kernels in a thick, heavy bottomed pan.
- Mix to ensure that all the kernels are coated with, and on let them pop on medium heat, with the lid on, leaving just a teeny bit of space for the steam to escape.
- Once the popping slows, take the pot off heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before you top it with the Tajín.
Notes
- I used olive oil for the recipe because I wanted to keep it vegan. You can choose to use butter if you don’t have any dietary restrictions.
- If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container or Ziploc bags at room temperature.
- When cooking the popcorn in the Air Fryer, remember to shake the Air Fryer basket a couple times during the cooking process.
