Make simple, refreshing fruit cups featuring sweet mango seasoned with spicy Tajín seasoning and lime juice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons Tajín Clásico Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1/4 cup chamoy sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mangoes by peeling them and cutting the flesh into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Combine the diced mango, pineapple chunks, and diced cucumber in a medium bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and the Tajín seasoning. Add the optional chili powder if you want more spice.
  4. Pour the lime and seasoning mixture over the fruit. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
  5. Chill the fruit mixture in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. To serve, spoon the fruit mixture into individual small bowls or hollowed-out small cups (like small pineapple halves or orange peels).
  7. Drizzle with chamoy sauce, if using, just before serving.

Notes

  • Select mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you do not have Tajín, you can mix 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dehydrated lime juice powder.
  • Watermelon or jicama are good additions to this fruit mix.
  • For a thicker coating, mix the Tajín directly with a small amount of lime juice to create a paste before tossing with the fruit.
