Time for "A Taste of" series again. This time I'm gonna talk about Tajin fruit seasoning. Seriously, where have I been hiding to not ever have been exposed to this stuff before? After tasting it, I knew I wanted to get some. I found some at Target a few days ago by surprise. It was only $1.89 for the bottle which I know will last me awhile.
My first experience with the seasoning was at one of Showboat's baseball tournaments. On their snack bar menu was a fruit cup. I decided to order one and was asked if I wanted the fruit seasoning. I choose to have the seasoning. In the cup was watermelon, papaya, mango, grapes, banana, and I'm thinking even another fruit or two (just not remembering right now). It was delicious. The seasoning is a mix of salty, sweet, and spicy all in one.
Doing some research, vendors on the streets of Mexico sell the fruit mix with the seasoning in plastic cups like this:
This is actually how mine was served to me. I forgot it also had Jicama as well.
My second experience with the seasoning was at the same tournament, and I watched all these people get these big ears of corn with this seasoning on it. So again I was asked if I wanted Mexican(style) corn. I again chose Mexican style. The corn cobs are slathered with butter, then the fruit seasoning is added, and topped off with Parmesan cheese. It was even more delicious than the fruit cups.
If you haven't tried it before, and you like a little extra kick or pizazz to your fruit or corn, definitely go out and buy it.
Found this recipe for Mexican fruit salad w chili-lime dressing at the blog, Over the Hill & On a Roll, while searching the net. It tells you how to make the chili-lime dressing which is fine if you want to take the extra time, but I'm thinking just sprinkle on the Tajin, no? :)
Note: I am in no way receiving compensation monetarily or otherwise from Tajin. I just love the stuff. :)
