Instructions

Prep the pickle: If using a whole dill pickle, pat it dry with a paper towel to help the toppings stick better. For easier eating or sharing, slice the pickle lengthwise into halves or quarters.
Layer the chamoy: Place the pickle on a plate or tray and drizzle it generously with chamoy sauce, coating all sides for that iconic sweet-and-sour flavor burst.
Season with spice: Sprinkle Tajín seasoning evenly over the chamoy-covered pickle. Add chili powder to taste for an extra spicy kick—this is where the heat meets the tang!
Optional viral twist: For the full TikTok experience, wrap the pickle in a fruit roll-up and layer a sour candy strip on top. Press gently to adhere the candy to the pickle for that dramatic sweet-salty contrast.
Finish with heat & citrus: Add a few dashes of hot sauce (if you like it fiery) and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten up the flavor explosion.
Serve immediately: Grab a napkin and dive in—this crunchy, saucy, sour-spicy snack is meant to be messy and fun!

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately while the fruit roll-up is still sticky and soft.
