Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Sticks
- 6 large whole dill pickles, crisp
Coating
- 120 ml chamoy sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 30 ml Tajín seasoning
Optional Additions
- 6 strips fruit-flavored roll-up candy (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Dry Pickles: Pat the dill pickles dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the coatings stick better.
- Add Sweet Layer (Optional): Wrap each pickle with a strip of fruit-flavored roll-up candy to add a layer of sweetness and contrast to the tangy pickle flavor, if desired.
- Coat with Chamoy: Pour the chamoy sauce onto a shallow plate. Roll each pickle in the chamoy until fully coated, ensuring an even layer of sweet and spicy flavor.
- Apply Tajín Seasoning: Generously sprinkle Tajín seasoning all over the chamoy-coated pickles, turning them to cover all sides evenly for a zesty and tangy kick.
- Add Chili Powder (Optional): For an extra layer of heat, lightly dust the pickles with chili powder according to your spice preference.
- Insert Skewers: Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the center of each pickle to make them easy to handle and eat.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the pickle sticks immediately for a fresh taste, or refrigerate them for up to 1 hour if you prefer a chilled and firmer coating.
Notes
- Use crisp dill pickles for the best texture and flavor contrast.
- Chamoy sauce can be homemade or store-bought, depending on availability.
- Fruit roll-up candy adds a sweet balance but can be omitted for a purely savory snack.
- Tajín seasoning provides tangy and mild chili heat; adjust quantity to taste.
- Refrigerating before serving enhances flavor melding and firms up the coatings.
