You may have seen AmandaLee Fago, the Tajin TikTok queen from Staten Island, New York. She adds Tajín, lime, and Chamoy to just about everything! I don’t know about you, but my mouth salivates every time I watch her videos where she is eating something with Tajín generously sprinkled on top. Inspired by her, we have created a mini list of snacks you can eat with Tajin.
What is Tajin?
Tajín is a Mexican seasoning that is made with predominantly ground dried chili peppers, dehydrated lime and sea salt. Adding a mouth-puckering kick to your often used produce. It comes in varieties. You have a classic version that is known as Tajín Clásico. There is also a low-sodium option. For spicy lovers, you can get the Tajín Habanero.
What Can You Put it on?
Pickles Wrapped in a Cheese Slice
I used to not like pickles, but something in me one day made an about face and now I enjoy snacking on pickles. It is exciting when I find a new way to eat this. I have tried HappyHealthyHaileys mustard drizzle as an inspo, and now we have pickles with Tajín wrapped in a cheese slice of your choice. My favorite is Havarti cheese.
Cut Cucumbers
Essentially you can put Tajín on any chopped raw vegetable, but I personally love cucumbers. AmandaLee Fago admitted in her TikToks that she doesn’t like cucumbers, but something about this combo makes it good. Just chop some cucumbers, add some Tajín, squeeze a bit of lime on top, and enjoy!
Chips and Guacamole
This is a standard best friend combo. Chips and guac, but it has been upgraded with the addition of Tajín on top.
With the chip component, take it and run. Get your favorite plain potato chip and just add Tajín. You can also add it to popcorn!
With the guac component, the same can be applied to cut avocados. Just chop up some avocados, instead of sprinkling “everything but the bagel seasoning” try sprinkling Tajín, with some garlic and lemon.
Speaking of everything but the bagel seasoning, you know how you were adding it to your boiled eggs. Well, now you have an alternative. That’s right. Put Tajín on your boiled eggs and enjoy a whole new world of flavors.
Cut Fruits
Whether that is mangoes, pineapples, watermelon, apples. Cut up your favorite fruit and add a generous amount of Tajín on top. This gives you the best balance of sweet and salty! You can also get creative it and make a fruit salad with Tajín on top.
Nut Mixes
For a little snack booster, mix it into your cashews, sunflower seeds, or nut mix of choice for a chili-lime kick.
Tajín is also used when cooking. It can be leveraged as an instant spice rub for beef, poultry, pork and even fish. Whether it’s simple pan-seared steak, roasted chicken, or grilled shrimp skewers, the spice blend is a great go-to boost for any weeknight meal.

I had never heard of Tajin but a friend was raving about it so I picked up a bottle at my local grocery store and decided to try it on a few of the chicken thighs I was smoking and I’ve gotta say that it is an amazing seasoning it compliments chicken extremely well and I mixed it with melted butter to try on corn on the cobb and it was absolutely a game changer.
I love Tajin in fruit salads with some orange juice n lemon, also on cucumbers 🥒 with lemon 🍋 juice. Tastes great on popcorn and corn on the cob!!! 🤤😋
Yess these are delicious 😋
Recommended by a friend, I tried it with cut fruits and surprisingly it tasted soooo good!
Love this! Tajin is my favorite, I normally have it with fruit. So excited to try it on different things.
