Here's a quick and easy treat for summer: Sprinkle tajín (chile-lime salt) on store-bought paletas de limón (lime-flavored popsicles; preferably made with real citrus juice). It's an instant Mexi-treat!

    My mouth is watering. Que rico. I think I've always been one to love the salty treats in my Mexican culture Tajin being top on the list. It can really turn any fruit to something I had when i was a young kid in Cali.
    Have you ever tried the paleta de pepino con chile? Best invention ever

    I love having aguas during summer to cool down the heat, but that paleta looks a lot like the perfect chill.
