Tajin! - Need more ideas for use!
It's basically chiles, salt, and dehydrated lime juice. I tried to read the ingredients from the back of the bottle, but they're in teeny tiny print, in Spanish.
A friend who lives in Mexico gave me a bottle of the classico and one of the habanero. I think I've seen it around here too. It's made in Jalesco, Mexico.

I even have a pic of it in my phone so that I can look for the red/white/green label.
Mmmm....corn season! 4 ears for a dollar yesterday - I bought 8.

Some stores have it in the produce section. The local (25 minutes) Safeway keeps it there.

Tasty little bugger!  Now I want to hear ALL of you suggestions on how to use it and what to put it on. My first thought was "watermelon"! Or "apple slices"! Or - or - or... I bet there are so many ways to use it I'll never think of them all. That's why I'm asking for your suggestions please.
Fire away! And thanks.

It is common to use around the rim of the glass for a Michelada. If your a bloody mary fan use it around the rim of the glass for your bloody mary.

Pineapple! Yes, when I first got it, I broiled buttered pineapple slices and sprinkled them with Tajin. Yum

That's where we find it. Produce section or lined up on top of the meat counter display.
CG,
I've used it for grilling fresh veggies.
Add a dash of it with some mayonnaise. Great sandwich spread, any type of meat.Or veggie wraps.
Dipping sauce for crab cakes
I've also used it to spread it (they mayo way) on the outside of the bread when I make paninni's.
Deviled eggs are fantastic with Tanjin. Eggs in general even.
Have fun :)

Mine's in English. I accidentally bought the low-sodium version. It has a blue cap, so beware
Ingredients: chile peppers, salt, dehydrated lime juice, potassium chloride (salt substitute), silicon dioxide (to prevent caking).

I once accidentally bought the low salt one and gave it to my low salt neighbor, not for this salt lover.
Has anyone mentioned it on watermelon? Oh yeah!!
