Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing summer snack featuring a mix of tropical fruits seasoned with Tajin chili-lime seasoning and fresh lime juice. Perfectly balances sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors without any cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup watermelon cubes (seedless)
  • 1 cup jicama, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 lime per cup of fruit)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tajin seasoning per cup of fruit
  • Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice mango, pineapple, watermelon, jicama, and cucumber into bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch).
  2. Transfer the diced fruit into a mixing bowl and gently toss to combine without crushing the pieces.
  3. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fruit, about 1 tablespoon per cup of fruit.
  4. Lightly sprinkle Tajin seasoning over the fruit mixture, about 1/2 teaspoon per cup, and toss gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Add a pinch of sea salt if desired and toss gently.
  6. Refrigerate the fruit cups for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld and the Tajin soften.
  7. Before serving, garnish with finely chopped fresh mint leaves and divide into individual serving cups or bowls. Add a lime wedge on the side for extra squeeze if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushy texture. Start with less Tajin and add more to taste. Chill before serving for best flavor. Can substitute Tajin with chili powder, salt, and lime zest if unavailable. Consume within 24 hours for best freshness.
