How to Make Fruit with Tajin

Let’s get real, no recipes are the best recipes! For Fruit with tajin, it’s as easy as cutting up the fruit and sprinkling it with tajin.

The one important thing about making this recipe is: Don’t season the fruit until you are ready to eat it.

Since tajin has salt, it will break down the fruit more quickly, causing it to release the juices of the fruit. So, if serving this at a party, wait until just before serving to sprinkle with tajin.

Building Fruit Skewers

How to Keep Fruit from Turning Brown
