How to use chilli lime seasoning
Use the Meatchelada Rub before cooking on chicken wings, fajita steak and prawns. Keep Tajín for finishing: grilled corn, mango, watermelon, cucumber and margarita rims. Lime fades with heat, so a final shake after cooking keeps it bright. Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11.
