Tajin is the main flavor for the crusted grilled chicken I make just about every weekend - and that blend sounds very similar.

A couple other mixes I use (to completely flummox my midwestern "Miracle Whip is kinda spicy" neighbors) are both from Badia: Saison Completa and Saison Tropical. Both have strong but pleasant flavor and a citrus-y tang, but neither one are very chili forward so you can get a nice tropical flavor but control the heat level better.

I used to use mainly Mexican spices and too often the dish would get out of balance since most mexican spice blends include chili powder.

Probably their version of Tajin, a very popular Mexican seasoning for fruit. tanyev Jun 2020 #2

I think it would be great on grilled chicken! Croney Jun 2020 #6

I've tried Tajin on fruit, but it seems like overkill to me. tanyev Jun 2020 #7
