directions

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy pan until it is very hot.
  • Add the popcorn and cover with lid.
  • Reduce the heat.
  • Shake the pan occasionally so all the corn will cook and it will not brown.
  • When the popping sound stops, remove pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Discard any kernels that have not popped.
  • Add the chili powder. Shake the pan again and again to make sure that all of the corn is covered with chili powder.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice just before serving.

  1. Well, I really liked the idea of this, but in execution I thought it was lacking. The chili powder on its own didn't give the popcorn a great flavor, so I added a few shakes of cumin and garlic. Fixed this way, it was fairly good with the lime, which I just cut up into slices and squeezed as I ate, rather than getting all of the popcorn soggy at once. Glad I tried this, but probably won't make again as written. Thanks!
     
  2. This was a disappointment. I have now wasted a good half hour of my time.
     
  3. I didn´t try it yet but it looks good
     
  4. I loved the flavors in this, especially the lime!
     
  5. This is good. Nice blend of flavors, with a little zip! I used a bag of microwaveable popcorn like previous reviewers. Thanks for sharing!

  1. I didn´t try it but looks especially so good you guys should try
     
  2. I made this recipe for an afternoon snack. It was good my brother really liked it. I do like the flavors also and the fact that it is a healthy simple and flavorful snack. I also really like the lime in it! I remember a Mexican friend of mine would make a similar snack but instead of popcorn she would use hot Cheetos with lime juice all over it! I used a popcorn popper and only had to use half a cup of unpopped popcorn. I also poured some butter over the popcorn before adding the chili pwd. Thanks Susie for this quick Mexican snack! Made for ZWT5 (Las Misticos Majicos Sirenas)
