12. Fresh fruit with Tajin seasoning
What is it: Fresh fruit topped with spicy, salty, and sour seasoning powder.

"I grew up in Texas and get so excited for my fave Mexican snacks!! Churritos (the one that Takis makes) are my favorite; my grandma used to bring me bags and bags when she'd visit. They're chili lime-flavored but a little milder than Takis."
