Back in the early days of 2020, my son Kash, fueled by boredom and a craving for something delicious, stumbled upon a snack that would quickly become a family favorite: my Brown Bag Microwave Popcorn with Tajin seasoning.

To this day, if we are having a movie night, Kash will make us a large bowl of his Tajin popcorn, and there is never a piece left!

Tangy Deliciousness

Allow me to introduce you to Tajin, the Mexican seasoning sensation that's taken our pantry by storm!

From fruits to grilled meats, Tajin knows how to steal the show and leave you begging for more.
