Chili Lime Seasoning Recipes

CHILI LIME SEASONING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then use as a seasoning or a rub.

CHILI LIME SPICE MIX FOR CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine spice ingredients in a spice grinder and grind until you have a fine powder.
• Take 2 large cookie sheets and spread chips out evenly. Place in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, until they are just warmed through and release some of their oil (this will help the spice mixture stick). Sprinkle spice mix over the warm chips - or toss chips and spice mixture together in a very large mixing bowl. Grate fresh lime zest over the top and serve.

CHILE-LIME PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• In a large bowl, combine the corn cereal, peanuts, pretzels, chipotle Cheddar crackers, tortilla chips, coconut, corn nuts and pepitas.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the lime zest, seasoning salt, kosher salt and chili powder. Simmer until the flavors are combined, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan.
• Pour half the seasoning mixture over the party mix and stir to combine. Then add the second half of the seasoning mix and stir again, making sure the seasoning mixture is evenly distributed over the party mix. Divide between the 2 prepared baking sheets and bake until the mix is lightly toasted and the Parmesan is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

CHILI LIME VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to 8 hours.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
• Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

CHILI'S SPICY GARLIC & LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the seasoning blend by combining all the spices in a small bowl.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add butter to the pan.
• When the butter is melted, stir in the pressed garlic.
• Immediately, add the shrimp to the pan.
• Cut the lime in half and squeeze each half into the pan over the shrimp.
• Sprinkle the entire seasoning blend over the shrimp, and give it all a good stir.
• Saute the shrimp for 5 to 8 minutes or until they begin to brown.
• Be sure to cook both sides of all the shrimp.

CHILI-LIME POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil with 3 popcorn kernels in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. When kernels pop, add remaining 1/2 cup kernels. Cook, covered, shaking pan occasionally, until popping slows, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from heat; let stand, covered, 1 minute.
• Stir together spices, salt, and zest in a small bowl. Toss hot popcorn with remaining tablespoon oil in a large bowl; sprinkle with spice mixture. Squeeze lime wedge over popcorn. Toss to coat.
