Caprese Salad
Tajín is not your typical salad seasoning, but it certainly belongs on Caprese salads, where it adds a bright tanginess and flavorful twist.
Since Caprese salads are simple, a little Tajín goes a long way. The mozzarella adds a creamy base while the acidic balsamic vinegar plays well with the tangy, rich Tajín.

Roasted Nuts
Making roasted nuts at home might sound like a lot of work, but using Tajín as the base of your seasoning will make the process worth it.
The brightness of the Tajín is the perfect way to balance the fattiness of the nuts. Just remember to coat the raw nuts in egg whites to get the Tajín to stick while baking.
