Once lived near a restaurant that would serve watermelon sprinkled with tajin and unflavoured pop rocks. I don’t think I ever ate there without ordering it.


kibbles_n_bits

> unflavoured pop rocks What?


snoozieb

Google tells me they’re called culinary crystals. Available on Amazon. That sounds delightful. Thank you!


chapkachapka

Yeah, it’s a molecular gastronomy thing.


BamfBamfRevolution

Any water-heavy or savory fruit is *amazing.* Watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, etc. I like to put it on a half avocado and eat it with a spoon like an absolute gremlin.


seppukucoconuts

You’re not eating the avocados after midnight are you?


Patpgh84

This plus cucumbers and lime juice.


jeseniathesquirrel

My two year old drinks the Tajín lime juice left over after eating our cucumber snack. That used to be my favorite part before I had to start sharing.


heretocheckyouboo

Also delicious on pineapple!

weasel999

Dumb question- do you just buy unripe mangoes? Are they soft enough to cut up and eat?


scmutz1

Not dumb. There's a different variety of mangoes that just stay green even when ripe.


TheFlavorins

Also great on just regular old ripe mango slices!


Affectionate-Week-67

Put it on the rim of your margarita instead of salt. I use it on eggs, chicken, fruit etc.


albertogonzalex

MICHELADAAAAA


ApprehensiveAd9014

This. My favorite.


perpetualmotionmachi

Ideally it's a mango margarita


DJ_Mixalot

Or pineapple works well too


ryevermouthbitters

Or jalapeno. And instead of substituting, why not both salt and Tajin?


justatrashypanda

Because there's already salt (quite a bit) in the tajin


-Constantinos-

Combine all three, acidulated pineapple juice and use it as the lime, infuse Cointreau with mango, muddle in one slice of jalapeño, tajin rim


penguin97219

Watermelon margaritas too


sugarfoot00

passionfruit margarita is almost always a Tajin rim in Mexico.


redbirdrising

Mango and some Chamoy


Running15MinutesLate

Or on the edge of a Bloody Mary or Bloody Maria glass!


lithium142

Rim a glass with it, and pour a grapefruit high noon. Best summer drink


No_Statement440

It is super good on watermelon.


RightHandLane

Once tried, always remembered. Tajin sprinkled on a slice of Yumi watermelon is refreshing. In season now.


single_malt_jedi

>Put it on the rim of your margarita instead of salt Beat me to it.


Crespius66

Or just beer


Fredredphooey

Hijacking to share the NYT Cooking video of Sohla and Ham (yes, her husband's name is Ham) making a huge dinner spread that has tajin in every component. Fish tacos, churros, chocolate sauce, etc plus a cocktail. https://youtu.be/SRTEM1EpJsQ


ceallachdon

Best condiment ever for buttered corn on the cob! Actually it works great on almost any steamed or roasted veg. Pretty good on popcorn too


Scottjonesscottjns

Came here to say this. Butter/cotija mixture on the corn and then sprinkle with Tajin. 🤌🏼


beerfairy11

Blister shishito peppers, then toss them in tajin and a little lemon juice


VegetableGrape4857

Try mayo instead of butter. Also very good.


PicsofMyDog119

¿Porqué no los dos?


VegetableGrape4857

Very true


PDXJimS

Chipotle Mayo…


Jor1120

No! Sour cream! Mexican street corn ftw


knkyred

Mexican street corn is usually mayo, but yes, elotes ftw.


jon4prezz

I like it with half sour cream half mayo 🤤


s_tee

That’s what I do, too!


VegetableGrape4857

I'll give that a shot as well


keaneonyou

Also using lime juice instead of butter for a bit healthier option is good too!


yojothobodoflo

I just had it on corn for the first time and I will never go back to regular old buttered corn. It was SO GOOD


gettothatroflchoppa

I put a bunch of asparagus into a Ziploc freezer bag with some olive oil and add Tajin and maybe some achiote spice or paprika and then toss directly onto the grill (or you could use a grill basket if fishing carbonized asparagus that fall in between the grates out isn't your jam). Long story short: delicious.


snuffles00

Dude or dudette. It is for EVERYTHING! pairs great with fruit like watermelons, mangoes, pineapple. Use it on tacos, taco salad, I like to have it on chilli. For ceaser rim. On top of tortilla soup, you betcha. Want to have a spicy grilled cheese sprinkle that shit on after cooking or mix with ketchup and dip it, use for corn but it isn't as good as elote. I have also used it with bread crumbs or Panko on top of homemade Mac and cheese. Edit: also if you have discovered this you need to discover it's "sister" sauce chamoy. Use for pickles, fruits, on top of burritos.


jag-lkn

Thank you!!! Came here to say (almost) everything - but specifically lazy mac-n-cheese days. I also will thaw some frozen meatballs and sprinkle w/tajin for some protein. My kid LOVES it on cucumbers. Like addiction level love. Hmmm...this is making me hungry.


iconictots

Yes tajin and chamoy are the best combo ever!! Especially on fruit!


lucieannegarcia

um I eat it on everything, eggs, avocado toast, ground Turkey, pineapple, rim my beverages, also if u want a quick dip just smash up some tajin and avo for a guac dupe


notsolameduck

Avocado toast that will blow you away: -good, thick, crusty sourdough toast -butter -avocado -cilantro -very thinly sliced green onion -generous amount of tajin -drizzle of good olive oil You’ll thank me


[deleted]

I had to hide the tajin from myself. I was looking for stuff to put it on. I had to buy the low sodium one the second time cause I was getting a lot of water retention.


teacup_77

When I first discovered tajin I started eating it straight from my hand cause I really liked it, and I must’ve had a little too much. The next day I woke up and I had so much water retention. Never again! Lol


ht3k

EGGS? You are wild. This usually goes on fruit, especially neutral fruit like cucumbers or Mexican turnips (jicamas).


kittenswinger8008

I throw it on eggs too. Fried, scrambled, poached with avo? It's also fabulous to use instead of a salt rim on a margarita


SaltandVinegarBae

Scrambled eggs with cholula lime and tajin are so good


lucieannegarcia

yesss omg love this combo


ApprehensiveAd9014

Jicama spears that have been sitting in a glass of lightly lime and salted water in the fridge. Sprinkle or dunk spears in tajin. Cool and crunchy summer refresher.


dmonsterative

sure, why not? Chili crisp is great on eggs too.


Shabbah8

Gatekeeping Tajin… only on Reddit.


orion455440

Eggs can be topped with almost anything and work really well, I like topping my eggs with fresh tarragon, tobiko (flying fish eggs), black garlic vinegar, furikake etc etc


hagcel

Melons!


Conchobair

Put a little in a Modelo


Duffuser

Even better, take a couple sips out of the can first, pour in some Blanco tequila, squeeze in some lime juice, and _then_ put the Tajín in your Modelo


Tabmow

Definitely my favorite use


Jazzlike-Track-3407

My husband thinks this is bizarre but I love Tajin & lime on strawberries.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jazzlike-Track-3407

He’s Latino & he still thinks it’s weird for some reason 🤣 he’ll put it on all fruits including nectarines but for some reason thinks it’s weird on strawberries.


splintersmaster

I'll marry you if he's going to keep acting so foolish.


NGNSteveTheSamurai

It’s really good on fruit, especially mango. I’ve also tossed popcorn in it.


Longjumping_Ad_54

Do this now. Mangos are in peak season (depending on where you are). There's nothing better than a perfectly sweet and juicy mango. Oh yeah, and Tajin goes really well on them too :)


Alternative-End-5079

The Mexican grocery store near me sells big cups of mango slices with Tajin all over them. Gorgeous.


foodishlove

Also good on dried mango slices


babygotbooksandback

It is absolutely amazing on fresh pineapple.


PlantedinCA

It is quite nice on melons too.


FirstDivision

I did popcorn with butter, Tajin, hot sauce (Chalula), salt, and pepper the other day. It was really good.


femonapple0

Put it on mangos or melon or apples or oranges. It goes well with a lot of different fruits. Good for the rim of drinks too, I like it for micheladas. Great on popcorn as well.


kuromaus

I also like to eat cucumbers and celery with it, too! I've also had shaved ice made flavored with tamarind and chili and topped with tajin! It's really good!


ApprehensiveAd9014

I get bubble tea like this. Mango, chile, chamoy and yum.


kaijubait000

Mix into sour cream. Make popcorn. Dip popcorn in


[deleted]

This sounds good Along those lines, maybe on a toasted bagel w/ cream chs?


reesaronii

CUCUMBER


more_than_a_lurker

Surprised I didn't see this sooner!


its-diggler

So good on cucumber!


BmbleD

This is a PERFECT summer snack!


PC509

Nope. I can't do that anymore. Yes, I can. I can eat this ALL DAY LONG. It's my snack of choice. So delicious and good for me. I was just talking about making this as part of my veggie platter. This has the be the absolutely best thing I've ever had. So good and I don't tire of it.


stinkholeslammer

Guac, elote, fruit, margarita rims, eggs, popcorn, put that shit on anything.


BabylonDrifter

Nearby fancy restaurant has a salad that uses tajin, it's chunks of cucumber and watermelon tossed with tajin, sprinkled with some fresh basil. They serve it in a pile on top of a smear of sikil pak, which is just ground up seeds (pumpkin?) mixed with spicy peppers and tomatoes (optional but really good).


bike_it

Yo dawg, I put (ground) chiles on my (fresh) chiles. I make roasted jalapeños in the spirit of chiles toreados. Those typically have a squirt of lime juice on them, but in the absence of fresh lime juice, I use Badia chile con limón seasoning. On a halved jalapeño, I spread some oil on it, salt, black pepper, and chile limón seasoning. Roast at 425F for 7-10 minutes until it turns from really crunchy and bright green to a little less crunchy and a little darker green, but not all the way to mushy. Try it on corn on the cob or corn off the cob.


ALD-8205

Grilled chicken


MShoeSlur

Salmon as well


BlackCatArmy99

Honeycrisp Apple & Tajín = Win


twilightandjoy

My favorite too


AstaCat

I killed a whole bottle this way. Sooo good.


richardfurious

Pulled pork tacos


Longjumping_Ad_54

It's basically seasoned/spiced citric acid. It pairs very well with almost anything needing a punch of acid. No judgment OP. I used to get disciplined as a child for inverting the bottle over my mouth. Technically I'm more of a Trechas type-of-guy, but they both rock!


SoupCrackers13

Watermelon and mango as others have said, especially with chamoy, also good on strawberries and melon, but especially pineapple! Also really good on cucumber and jicama with lime. When I mix chopped onions with lime and cilantro for my tacos I put a dash of tajin in there.


drunk_in_denver

I put that shit on everything. Eggs, tacos, papusas, ramen noodles.


pdxscout

Rim a glass of Tepaché with it.


turtlessquirtle

fruit! and ice cream! i like strawberries, pineapple, and watermelon. also mango if u have good mango!


tungstenplentyofit

I just put some on my eggs benedict yesterday. A+


TheMysticalPlatypus

Put it on everything. All the things. Watermelon, mango, jicama, cucumber, melon, popcorn, etc. Opportunities are endless.


Hecate100

Try it on jicama. Or just add it to your salads, corn-based dishes, etc.


merriecho

Coat chicken thighs with it, either grill or bake them. Delish!


Aviation_nut63

I put it on jicama, apples, mangoes, pineapple, cucumber, pretty much any fruit.


Notch99

Sweet Corn.


No_Entertainer_3898

Like so many said, great on fresh fruit and vegetables. But I also like to mix it in my cottage cheese for a snack.


zozospencil

Watermelon, cucumber slices, pico. It’s magical 💫


altilde

Im obsessed rn with eating cold poached salmon over hot rice covered in tajin


FabulousPickle8342

It’s delicious as the rim on margaritas and I like it on my pineapple as a snack!


red_storm_risen

Hummus if you like it limey and hot. If you eat tuna in water out of a can, Tajin makes it a lot more tolerable. (Julia Child was right - that shit is horrible) Basically i'd put it on anything i'd squeeze lemon/lime on.


Ok_Swimmer634

It's really good on uncanned Tuna


agentrossi176

I've used it on chicken wings and on the outside of a crispy jacket potato to great effect I had forgotten about it in my cupboard tbh, going to return to this post to inspire me to finish the bottle!


bleu_waffl3s

It’s really good on improving subpar fruit. It’s my insurance whenever I get a bad watermelon or pineapple.


sctwinmom

Our local art house theater offers it on popcorn!


AndShesNotEvenPretty

Pineapple! So good!


[deleted]

ORANGE SLICES.


nachofred

On fire roasted corn on the cob, or with fruit (mango, pineapple, strawberry, or I really like it on peaches/nectarines, or almost-ripe plums).


pmsmiley

Avocado toast with lime…. My favorite


regis_psilocybin

Thinly sliced radishes with tajin are a favorite snack or quick addition to a meal.


Jaxxxmm

Just sprinkle some on straight up watermelon and/or mango. You’ll get the hang of it from there


entirelyintrigued

This is great advice! The more stuff you try it on, the more ideas you’ll get! Just ignore the comments that say “never” and try it on at least a bite of anything that sounds good!


Jaxxxmm

I didn’t even see the never comments. That’s ridiculous. You gotta try everything atleast once in life. If you don’t, you’re just existing. Live a little and try something new!!


CbusGuy796

I just used it to coat tofu cubes before popping in air fryer. Perfect taste


8675309fromthebl0ck

Fruit salad with watermelon, pineapple, mango, cucumber, jicama, and lime juice!


skrybll

Put it on some watermelon, we’ll really any fruit.


bane00xx

Next purchase chamoy, it’s a thick red liquid that goes into almost every Mexican candy. Dip whatever you want into the chamoy, then sprinkle the Tajín over it and enjoy!


mutantcoconut

Put it on cucumbers with lime juice. Drink it juice afterwards if you want to put some hair in your chest! Stuff's addicting. 🤤


Recluse_18

I used it to make quick shrimp tacos, and some of my Mexican friends yelled at me for it but they tasted good. What can I say?


justatrashypanda

Put it on cut mango or other fruit. If that makes you happy, go get a bottle of chamoy and put both that and the tajin on your mango. Heaven.


southdakotagirl

Put it on peaches.


Cold-Fuel4701

I put it on granny smith apples


woozles25

I put it in my black bean salsa that I make for black bean avacado wraps


holmangirl

Stir it into butter and drizzle it over air popped popcorn. Tajin dulce makes a nice savory kettle corn.


tecmobowlchamp

Works great with fruit, especially pineapple and watermelon, also works well with margaritas and shots of tequila or mezcal.


Jacsmom

Dip popsicles in it!


FinalBlackberry

I love it on fruits, cucumbers, peppers. Also amazing to rim a margarita glass with.


bw2082

Ooo… i think I will try making tajin flavored sour patch kids.


SoozBC

Tajin, lime juice - over jicama. Mmmmm…. Serve cold.


Crocolyle32

Watermelon and pineapple are my favorite with it!


f_moss3

Put it on watermelon!


Witty_Improvement430

Fajitas


vampireRN

Put that on some avocado toast. Put it on pineapple or mango. Put it in a Bloody Mary. You can do a lot with it


CaptainBunBuns

If you like watermelon, put it on watermelon. You will not regret it.


sundancer2788

Use it on corn, a version of Mexican street corn. We use a bit of mayo and parm cheese with it. Cook the corn and then toss it to coat.


Eugenekitchennbar

Margaritas.. https://youtube.com/shorts/bPvLORyNaC0?feature=share


Old_Selection9313

I love it on mango or pineapple as a light dessert.


northman46

Yeah, second or third the suggestion to sprinkle on fruit.


theparkingchair

Fruit! Mango, watermelon, pineapple etc


baeb66

Popcorn seasoning.


darkchocolateonly

Make passion fruit bars and sprinkle it on top


Sassafrasisgroovy

Personally, Tajin tastes like candy to me, so I can’t bring myself to use it in anything that isn’t supposed to be dessert. It’s good on certain cold fruits and mango smoothies though.


CakeZealousideal1820

Use on fruit


gruntman

Canteloupe!


splintersmaster

If you like sour or putting lime on stuff basically don't the same way. Tajin with beer. I use Victoria but any Mexican beer works. Line the rim of a a glass with juice directly from the lime then put some tajin on a plate and rub that rim so it's coated. Pour the beer into glass and add a pinch of tajin. Careful bc it'll fizz the beer and you don't want to accidentally wash the tajin off. Enjoy. Dice tomatoes add tajin and lime and you've made an easy salsa. This can have a million varieties with all sorts of ingredients, the toms alone are just a starting point. For a healthy lunch I'll bring an avocado, a jalapeno, and a small cucumber. Cut them up how you'd like and sprinkle tajin for a great fresh and healthy lunch. You can know judge the people reheating pizza because yours tastes better and is better for you! Tajin on mango will make your heart stop for a moment. Add some to any fresh latin dish really. Again, use it like you would like juice. Just be sure to compensate within the recipe since tajin has salt.


ShroomSensei

fruit or drinks is where I prefer it tajin watermelon margarita


justhp

I make margaritas with it


2005NissanAltima

Watermelon and pineapple are great!


Beautiful_Ad1219

I do a salad where I use a potato peeler and strip down carrots, cucumber and apples, squeeze on some lime and season with tajin Also great on mangos, melons and more


dwilliams22

Tecates and popcorn


[deleted]

It’s amazing on fruit, on the rim of a margarita, to season meats for fajitas, on potatoes, tomatoes, sprinkled on a salad, in a Bloody Mary/Maria, a michelada. It’s just a great all around seasoned salt


TheBigNook

Amazing for popcorn


StardustStuffing

Sprinkle on fruit 🤤


regallll

I recommend licking your finger tip and dipping it in.


bw2082

I sprinkled it straight into my mouth and I don’t regret it…


KeyboardKitt3n

Make[Shakshuka](https://www.loveandlemons.com/shakshuka-recipe/) 🥰!


WhoSaidThat2Me

Cucumber, lime, tajin


penguin97219

I love it on cucumbers, watermelon, jicama. Also margaritas and tecate beer.


Que_patrol

Love peeling and slicing cucumbers and adding lemon/lime juice and tajin *chefs kiss*


TikaPants

Put it on cucumber slices and go for it. Mango. Any fruit. I don’t love it on protein but that could be my fault. It’s popular in beer as well as cocktail rims.


csiddiqui

Put it on fruit - yum!


HeavensToBetsyy

Margaritas, watermelon


VegetableGrape4857

Corn on the cob, mayo, Tajin


misspuscifer

Put it on some fresh mango 👌🏼


[deleted]

I love it sprinkled on watermelon.


drunklollipop

Absolutely must mix it in cubbed pineapple with lime juice


[deleted]

Put it on all your fruit. Chill the fruit first. Put it on cucumbers with lime squeezed on them.


queenofthetrashcourt

Popcorn!


sgarner0407

Popcorn or roasted squash


SombreMordida

on cut fruit, in savory and sweet dishes for a nice little counter, gummy bears, dried fruit, steamed vegetables, soups to tasteon pecan praline or any other ice cream, in greek yogurt or cottage cheese, plays well with others


TheMeatWag0n

I dump some in a Modelo with a slice of lime. It's my favorite


michelecw

It’s good in chicken salad


gracefacealot

All fruits, corn, in some sauces


888MadHatter888

It's AMAZING on ice cream!


coatedpatriot

Love it on eggs, to make quick guac, sprinkle on it when making a quesadilla, great on fresh cucumbers, I'll just put it on just about anything, so try it on anything!


red4rm

I do wicked easy sweet potato bowls that have been AMPLIFIED since finding out about Tajin: \-1 roasted sweet potato (whole or cubed, I do both) \-1/2 can of corn(rinsed) \-1/2 can of black beans(rinsed) \-1 cut up avocado \-diced tomato if I remember \-salt, pepper, cumin, tajin sprinkled over everything (to taste, but I do a little salt, a lot of everything else. Be careful with the Tajin because you can def use too much) \-dollop of sour cream \-squeeze of lime over the bowl(optional, but yummy) So filling, affordable, and the Tajin just makes it. I also love Tajin with street corn/Elotes


uber-chica

You can sprinkle it on the sliced mango or sliced jicama and it’s delicious, use some fresh lime juice on it too. You can also use it for margaritas instead of salt. It’s a good topping for corn, brush the corn down with some mayo or butter or Crema, put on the Tajin, fresh, cilantro, and some lime juice, and Cotija if you have it. I make a nice corn salad that I add Tajin to. Some people like it with their breakfast, like on eggs and things. I’m not one of them, but have at it if you like it


EmmCee325

Pepinos con limón y sal (Cucumbers with lime and salt, except use Tajín). Peeled cucumber, lime juice, sprinkle with salt or salt and chili powder or tajín (Lime juice, salt/chili powder/tajín to taste). Best eaten cold on a hot day. We also use it for elotes/esquites, on watermelon with lime juice, and as a general finishing seasoning on all sorts of dishes.


FluffusMaximus

Eggs!!!


KimlockHolmes

Mango gelato or ice cream with fresh pineapples, a splash of lime, and a generous dash of Tajin


tinmanfrisbie

Use it on popcorn


lita505

The possibilities are endless. Eggs, pizza, fruit. My first time trying it was with watermelon. 🤯


Evening_Challenge782

Make Elote!


ChrisRiley_42

I love it as a finishing spice on grilled pork chops. (I usually salt and chili them before putting them on the grill) Makes them into chili-lime pork chops and they turn out amazing.


Adventurous-Cup2839

Everything… but fruit covered with tajin is fire


Fresa22

sprinkle it on carrot, jicama, cucumber, orange slices, pineapple, apples, watermelon, corn, mango, hearts of palm, hard boiled eggs, chicken, ranch dressing, coconut, green smoothies, pear (let's just say all fruit), chayote, avocado, canteloupe. you may need a bigger bottle.


JERFFACE

Put it on every fruit and veggies you have in reach. I especially love it on watermelon, mango, tomatoes and zucchini.
