Ingredients
4-6 medium pickles (dill or sour, based on your preference)
3 tablespoons chamoy sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Tajín seasoning (optional for extra spice)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Pickles
Start by washing and peeling the pickles, if desired. Slice them into thick spears or discs, depending on your preference. Set them aside.
Mix the Chamoy Sauce
In a bowl, combine the chamoy sauce, chili powder, Tajín seasoning (if using), sugar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt (optional). Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined.
Coat the Pickles
Place the pickle slices in a resealable plastic bag or a large container with a lid. Pour the chamoy mixture over the pickles, making sure they’re all evenly coated. Close the bag or container and give it a good shake to coat the pickles completely.
Chill and Marinate
Refrigerate the pickles for at least 1-2 hours. The longer they marinate, the more intense the flavors will be, so feel free to leave them overnight for an even bolder taste.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the pickles have marinated, they’re ready to enjoy! Serve them cold as a snack, or add them to your favorite party platter for a fun, spicy twist.
