Tajín is a seasoning that goes beyond spicing up snacks and margarita rims. It works well on pineapple because pineapple’s acidity and brightness pair with Tajín’s limey undertones. The chili warmth complements pineapple’s sweetness for a complex but familiar flavor. Simple use involves sprinkling Tajín on sliced pineapple, while grilling pineapple adds sweetness that can be enhanced further with Tajín. Additional salt or extra lime juice can adjust the balance. Tajín can also upgrade pineapple margaritas with a Tajín rim instead of salt, pairing with softer tequilas. It can rim piña coladas for a balanced, intriguing drink. Fruit salad can be made more exciting by sprinkling Tajín, including on honeydew, mango, and peaches.
"One classic example is a pineapple margarita, which is best complemented by softer tequilas. As you may expect, the best rim for this upgraded margarita isn't salt: It's Tajín. The spice on the rim plays off the heat of the tequila and the sweetness of the fruit, offering a bold, zesty rendition of a classic summertime libation."
