A vibrant and refreshing Mexican street-style fruit cup featuring sweet mango, tangy chamoy, and a spicy chile lime rim. Perfect for a quick, healthy snack with a flavorful kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup chamoy sauce (Valentina or La Costeña recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Tajín chile powder, plus extra for the rim
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons), freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or agave syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt for the chile lime rim mix
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot, for the rim)
  • Zest of 1 lime (for the rim)
  • Optional fresh fruit add-ins: watermelon chunks, cucumber slices, or jicama

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chile lime rim mix by combining 2 tablespoons Tajín, 1 teaspoon chili powder, lime zest from one lime, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir well. (5 minutes)
  2. Rub the rim of each serving cup with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim into the chile lime rim mix, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set aside to dry slightly. (5 minutes)
  3. Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes, being careful removing the pit. Place diced mango in a medium bowl. (10 minutes)
  4. Add chamoy sauce, fresh lime juice, and optional sugar or agave syrup to the mango. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat every piece. Taste and adjust lime or chamoy if needed. (5 minutes)
  5. Spoon the seasoned mango into each chile lime-rimmed cup. Add other fruits like cucumber or jicama if desired. (5 minutes)
  6. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes if you want them cold, or serve immediately.

Notes

Use firm but ripe mangoes to hold shape. If chamoy is too thick, thin with a splash of water or lime juice. Rim cups just before serving to keep chile lime coating fresh and crunchy. Can substitute mango with pineapple or papaya. Adjust chili powder to taste. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
