Heat + Citrus Recipe: Spicy Paloma

What's up with chile and citrus? Warming chiles bring depth, while citrus brightens, creating flavor that feels sharp, lively, and that flirts with warmer weather. Supporting spices add balance, with salt used selectively to sharpen and define. The result? Bold heat with a bright finish. It's a pairing that capitalizes on grilling, cocktails, fresh cooking, and everything that signals the coming summer.

Chile-Lime Taco Seasoning
spice blend collab
Mercado Citrus Adobo was inspired by the bright, vibrant flavors found in Mexican mercados, where dried chiles, fresh citrus, and vibrant fruit are always part of the experience. I wanted to create a blend that captures the flavor of a fresh chile-lime marinade while still being versatile enough for everyday cooking. Built with guajillo and ancho chiles, lime, mango, and warm spices, this blend brings brightness, depth, and a subtle tangy finish to tacos, grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, and even fresh fruit. Fresh ways to try this blend: • Mix with oil and fresh lime juice for a quick taco marinade • Use on shrimp, chicken, steak, or fish before grilling or roasting • Sprinkle over grilled corn, potatoes, or roasted vegetables • Add to crema, sour cream, or mayo for sauces and dips • Use as a finishing seasoning for fruit, popcorn, hard boiled eggs and avocado toast • Great for sheet pan tacos, skewers, and quick weeknight meals
