Prep: 15 min | Cook: 168 hrs | Total: 25 min
Cost: $16.77 total, $2.10 per serving
Ingredients
- 2 lb Large Dill Pickles (Whole pickles, preferably from Costco or Smart & Final; keep the original brine)
- 1 cup Pickle Juice (Half of the brine removed from the jar (approx. 1 cup for 2 lb of pickles))
- 2 tbsp Cheap Chamoy Sauce (Inexpensive, bright‑red chamoy (often sold in small bottles for $1‑$2))
- 2 tbsp Fritos Chamoy Sauce (Fritos brand chamoy adds a richer flavor)
- 1 tsp Tajín Seasoning (Classic chili‑lime powder)
- 1 tsp Takis‑Flavored Tajín (Tajín mixed with crushed Takis chips for extra heat and flavor)
Instructions
Drain Half of the Brine
Open the pickle jar, pour out roughly half of the pickle juice (about 1 cup) into a separate container. Set the remaining juice aside – it will stay in the jar with the pickles.
Time: PT5M
Add Chamoy and Tajín
To the jar with the pickles, add the cheap chamoy, the Fritos chamoy, regular Tajín, and the Takis‑flavored Tajín. Stir or shake gently until the sauces coat the pickles evenly.
Time: PT5M
Seal and Shake
Close the jar tightly and give it a good shake for about 30 seconds so the chamoy and seasonings are fully incorporated.
Time: PT5M
Marinate in the Refrigerator
Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least one week. This allows the pickles to absorb the chamoy flavor and turn a vibrant red.
Time: PT168H
Temperature: 4°C
Serve (Optional Fun Presentation)
When ready to eat, remove a pickle, slice it lengthwise, and wrap it in a fruit roll‑up. Fill the roll‑up with Gushers, Cheetos, crushed Takis, a dab of salsa, then drizzle extra chamoy on top.
Time: PT10M
