MEXICAN ESSENTIALS: CHILI-LIME SEASONING (TAJIN)

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. To increase the heat use a hotter chili powder, and more cayenne. To decrease the heat reduce the chili powder and cayenne, and increase the paprika.
- 3. Save those spice bottles. I make a lot of my own spice combinations, but I buy a lot of individual spices. When a bottle goes empty, I remove the label, and toss it into the dish washer. Then, when I make my "special" spice mixtures, I slap my own label on, and stick in in the cupboard.
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Add all the ingredients together in a jar, and keep in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
- 6. PLATE/PRESENT
- 7. I sprinkle it on beef, pork, and fish, before grilling, or cooking. It is awesome sprinkled on a good juicy burger, or even sprinkled over fresh fruit. Enjoy.
- 8. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
