This is a Mexican Specialty. It is quite a healthy snack!

Directions

I made this recipe for an afternoon snack. It was good my brother really liked it. I do like the flavors also and the fact that it is a healthy simple and flavorful snack. I also really like the lime in it! I remember a Mexican friend of mine would make a similar snack but instead of popcorn she would use hot Cheetos with lime juice all over it! I used a popcorn popper and only had to use half a cup of unpopped popcorn. I also poured some butter over the popcorn before adding the chili pwd. Thanks Susie for this quick Mexican snack! Made for ZWT5 (Las Misticos Majicos Sirenas)

I loved the flavours in this popcorn. I cheated and used microwave popcorn. As a previous reviewer, I added the chili powder and lime juice to the back and gave it a good shake before serving. Made for ZWT%

Well, I really liked the idea of this, but in execution I thought it was lacking. The chili powder on its own didn't give the popcorn a great flavor, so I added a few shakes of cumin and garlic. Fixed this way, it was fairly good with the lime, which I just cut up into slices and squeezed as I ate, rather than getting all of the popcorn soggy at once. Glad I tried this, but probably won't make again as written. Thanks!

I have to confess I used low fat microwave popcorn for this. After the popping I added the chili powder & lime, reclosed the bag, and shook. Very easy and a terrific snack. Thanks susie!
