Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend
Fruta con chile y limon. It’s a popular snack offered up by street vendors throughout Mexico. Wheeled carts mounted with glass boxes exhibit several cups, each one overflowing with one or another combination of fresh- cut fruits and veggies—watermelon, mango, coconut, oranges, jicama, cucumbers…
But it’s not just fruit they’re peddling. As important as the produce is, what makes this snack so special is the condiment sprinkled on top. It’s a seasoning made from salt, chile powder, and lime juice powder. What might seem strange to the uninitiated is actually a very sensible (and sensational!) flavor fusion: sweet and crisp fruit, contrasted with tart lime, enhanced by salt, and given an ever-so-slight, pungent, chile-powder kick.
Trader Joe’s version of this simple seasoning is called Chile Lime Seasoning Blend. Sprinkle it on eggs, potatos or tacos. Or, rim a glass (or two) and servie Spicy Jalapeño Limeade over ice, with- or without -tequila. You'll find no end to the versatility of this sensational seasoning blend.
