In these Roasted Tajin Nuts, the combination of chili and lime adds an intense flavor to otherwise plain mixed nuts.

Additionally, it adds a bit of heat and makes them completely irresistible!

Every time I bring these Mexican chili lime nuts to a party, they disappear in minutes and everyone asks how to make them. I'm almost embarrassed to tell them just how simple they are! Almost.

Roasting nuts with Tajin is a great way to add a flavorful and unique twist, turning simple peanuts and nuts into the BEST snack.

Whip up a batch in just 15 minutes with 3 ingredients.

Use store-bought or Homemade Tajin Seasoning (Chili Lime). I'm a HUGE fan of the seasoning. It just adds so much flavor with just a few shakes.

It's also incredible on this easy recipe for Tajin Chicken.

  • Tajin - The Mexican chili lime seasoning. Buy it at the grocery store or try making your own homemade tajin.
