Popular under the brand name Tajín, this seasoning blend is made from chiles, salt, lime, and an anticaking agent. While we’d grab Tajín from our pantry in a pinch, there’s nothing like making your own that’s completely customized to your palate and free of any preservatives.
Remove seeds and stems of 1 cup dried chiles de árbol and 1 whole ancho chile. Toast in a skillet until fragrant and set aside to cool.
Break chiles into smaller pieces and finely grind using a spice grinder.
Mix with 2 1⁄2 tablespoons ground dried lime (available at international markets) and smoked salt, to taste.
