Tajin® is a Mexican seasoning that goes great with fruits, vegetables and more. Based on a Mexican old age tradition of seasoning fruits and vegetables with mild chili peppers, lime and salt, Tajin® it’s a very versatile seasoning that consumers can use in different ways to enhance the flavor of fruits, vegetables, drinks or any food. Basically, it’s like Cinco de Mayo in a bottle.

Also, I’m sharing a recipe for Tajin® Corn Salad, which is a great for an afternoon snack or side dish. http://www.tajin.com/receta/index/1/8/8?LNG=1
