I’m calling all my chamoy lovers over to this recipe right here! I’m used to eating this delicious condiment on fruit with a sprinkle of Tajin or using on the rim for drinks.. but one day I wondered why I never tried cooking with it. The best description of the taste is a thick syrupy mixture of lime, salt and mild chili powder. It’s not overly spicy- mostly tangy. The taste will want to make you click your tongue on the roof of your mouth. When used in cooking it is a great way to introduce acidity and colour to your dish. Hope you enjoy this one!
