**** Tajin Spice (salsa en polvo in Spanish) is a ground red chile pepper, salt, and lime seasoning. In Mexico this is very popular to sprinkle on fresh fruit as melons and vegetables like cucumbers. This spice can be purchased at Hispanic food markets. Some grocery stores may carry in the Latin America food section or you can purchase Tajin Spice online. Amazon has it
