Notes
* Nutrition facts are estimated using a database that this owner is not responsible for maintaining. Precise nutrition information depends on the actual ingredients and amounts used when making this recipe.
- Tajin is a salty Mexican seasoning blend, so there is no need to add more salt to it. And if you are looking to cut back on salt, Tajin does sell a reduced sodium version.
- If you can't find Tajin, you can use a different chili lime seasoning. Trader Joe's even sells their own version.
- If these flavors are new to you and your kids, sprinkle the seasonings on a few pieces of watermelon and taste it before adding it to all of your freshly cut watermelon. Afterall, there's nothing like making a lot of something that your whole family doesn't care for ;)
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days.
