Fiery with zing! Great as a rub or fruit seasoning…
Chili lime seasoning is ever more popular in supermarkets with the likes of Tajin leading the way. But sometimes it’s about the experimentation at home to create the perfect powder for your tastebuds. Use this chili lime seasoning as a base for culinary play.
We love adjusting the type of chili powder base used to create milder or earthier experiences. For example, opting in chipotle powder instead of chili powder brings additional heat and a delicious smokiness to the table. Use this seasoning as a steak rub or simply sprinkle it atop fruit for an excellent spiced snack alternative.
Chili Lime Seasoning
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder chipotle powder, or paprika*
- 1 teaspoon lime zest approximately 1/2 lime

- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

Notes
Want a smokier chili lime seasoning? Use chipotle powder instead of chili powder. Want a milder spiciness? Use generic mild paprika instead of chili powder or cut down the amount of cayenne used.
