A buddy of mine brought a bottle out to sage this weekend. Saturday morning he hands it to me and says “Put this on your eggs”. I trust him so I didn’t even ask what it was.

Turns out it’s a chili lime seasoning. It was fantastic on my eggs.

Later that evening our chief cook asked me to taste the pintos and see what they needed. I added some salt, pepper, garlic powder and a diced bell pepper. Then about a tbsp of this Tajin.

Several people raved about the beans.

After we were done someone had made something called a nutterbutter surprise, (Basically a no cook cheesecake with crushed nutterbutters on top) to celebrate a birthday.

It was really good but I wanted to try an experiment. That’s right, I Tajined it.

Damn, it made it taste like a spicy key lime (my favorite) cheesecake with the added peanut crunch of nutterbutters.

Is there anything this stuff isn’t good on?

Just ate dominoes when I got home. Good on that too.

I'm a heathen and use microwave popcorn.

Pro tip, add a little and shake the bag. Repeat until properly dusted. If you add it all at once it just gets stuck on the bag.

Other tip, for my beans/Lil smokies/rice crockpot I use a generous dash of Adobo Saizon Tropical (the orange bottle one, not the green which is also good).

It's the best. Great on eggs too.
 
A friend of mine from Mexico shared a bottle with me a couple of years ago @Chdamn . I simply can't believe all the things I've found to put this on. He first put some on navel orange slices and then some pineapple slices. Then I started putting it on soups, reuben sandwiches, stir fry, eggs, pizza, subs, and so on.

I'm gonna sit back and watch this thread because I'm convinced you and others will let us in on even more ways to use this stuff. I had never even heard of it before that guy sprinkled it on those fruit slices that day.

Good on fries, that's for sure.
 
Sprinkle it all over some pineapple slices and grill them over charcoal until they caramelize. Anything caramelized like onions, apples, etc are the ticket.

Slap yo' mama across the mouf good.
 
I'll probably try it anyway, but stuff like that generally has too much lime in it for me.
Try a sprinkle on some double chocolate cookies or brownies right out of the oven. I use a homemade smoked paprika and chipotle infused salt on those things and wow.
Thet way yall describe it, betcha the Tajin would be good on them too.

I guess I'll have to find some shelf space. Amazon had a 14 ounce bottle for $3.99, so I'll share it with my daughter.

Already added it to my March 1 order.
 
Mexican street corn is where I found this, it's great to take a can of whole kernal corn, pour out the liquid (or use frozen corn), roast the corn in a skillet with butter, salt, pepper and this and then add in some parm cheese in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
If you like this try Saizon too, different flavors but great on a lot of things, I add on burgers, chicken, eggs, etc.

Figured a man of your experience would have known forever.

It was on the table at the local Mexican grocery where I like to get tacos years ago when you never saw another gringo in there. Been hooked since.

One of my favorites is mixing a good bit of it in the mix for making Shake n bake pork chops or chicken fried steak.

Tajin has almost completely taken over anything I would use Tony's for as well. Low country boils, crab legs, pretty much any seafood.

I second the popcorn too.
