A homemade ”Tajín" spice will be much fresher than the storebought one and you can adjust the amount of salt, which is pretty high in storebought. Cut planks of fruits and vegetables and sprinkle with this homemade tajin for some awesome Mexican Street food.
For the fruit: wash and peel the fruit you choose to use. Cut into planks or spears (see youtube video above for cutting illustration).
1 small jicama, 1 medium cucumber, 1 mango, 1 avocado, pineapple, papaya, etc.
Place fruit spears in a large bowl and sprinkle with the chile lime salt. Cut wedges of lime and serve fruit/vegetable spears on a plate with lime wedges for people to squeeze over the fruit/vegetables.
