What is Tajín?
Tajín is the brand name of an iconic Mexican fruit seasoning made with dried lime, ancho and pasilla chilli, sea salt, smoked paprika and oregano. It has a tangy, earthy, zesty flavour, with a mild chilli heat that’s perfect in marinades or over barbecued vegetables. It’s often sprinkled over sweet, ripe fruits such as pineapple, mango and watermelon, and goes well with grilled seafood, too. Tajín is loved by chefs at restaurants including Casa Pastor in London and Bonita Taqueria Y Rotisserie in San Francisco.
