What Exactly is a Mexican Fruit Cup?
Mexican Fruit Cups, also known as Cóc trái cây Mexico, are made with fresh fruits usually cut into cubes or slices, arranged in plastic cups and topped with Tajin chili powder, chamoy sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh lime juice.
Tajin is a famous Mexican chili lime seasoning brand. It's made from a blend of chili powder, lime, and salt.
Chamoy is a thick, savory-sweet sauce (similar in thickness to honey or syrup) made from pickled fruits like apricots, plums, or mangoes mixed with spicy chili and salt. It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, salty, and spicy and it pairs wonderfully with sweet fruits!
