Tequila Lime Chili Popcorn Flavoring

  • 1 recipe Homemade Microwavable Popcorn
  • 80 mL (1/3 cup) butter, melted
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 shot tequila (Cuervo works good here!)
  • 2 turns of pepper mill (1/2 teaspoon) of pepper
  • 5 mL (1 teaspoon) salt
  • 10 mL (2 teaspoons) chili powder
  1. Prepare the popcorn as per previous recipe; place into bowl.
  2. Add butter, lime zest, and freshly squeezed lime juice. (Note: put the lime in the microwave for 5 seconds to help juice the lime easier.)
  3. Add tequila, toss together for about 5 seconds until all liquid is incorporated.
  4. Add pepper, salt and chili powder; toss to coat evenly.
  5. Serve right away while popcorn is hot.
