Our Chili Lime Seasoning is fruity, tart, and aromatic. It is also known as chili lime powder, chili lime seasoning, or chili lime rub.

We first came across this seasoning when looking for a flavor enhancer for fruit. Using chiles, citrus, and salt to do so is a common practice in small Mexican markets. Blending spicy chile and tart lime makes food sharp and a little spiky, in fun contrast to the mellow sweetness inherent in fruit.

Chili Lime Seasoning is popular with independent spice shops; olive oil shops; seasoning companies; bar and grill-style restaurants; Latin American and Mediterranean restaurants; and bitters, syrups, kettle corn, popcorn, and cannabis edible manufacturers.

 We also carry Organic Chili Lime Seasoning.

How to Use

Sprinkle over watermelon, pineapple, cucumber, mango, jicama, or papaya. Give Tropical Mango Salsa or Sweet Cantaloupe Salsa a spicy, citrus boost. Add it to savory foods and put it in this hearty Salsa Soup, or add it to some meat and enjoy a cheesy Chili Lime Steak Quesadilla. You can also use it to give a surprising kick to the New York-style hot dog onions that top our Hot Dogs with Porter Mustard.  

This blend adds bold flavor to beef, chicken, pork, seafood, vegetables, ceviche, empanadas, or tamales. It gives unexpected zest to dressings, guacamole, marinades, sauces, chips, and popcorn.
