Chipotle Lime Popcorn

With a little bit of chipotle seasoning and a splash of lime juice, you'll have a ridiculously tasty snack. It's salty, smoky, spicy, and tangy all at the same time. It's unique, and it sure hits the spot. It's also a lot easier to season the popcorn to your liking.

1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. chipotle seasoning or cayenne pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. sea salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1 Tbsp. lime juice, freshly squeezed
sea salt
black pepper, freshly cracked

In a small bowl, stir together oregano, chipotle or cayenne, chili powder, onion powder and sea salt.Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring olive oil to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often.

Add popcorn kernels in a single layer and cover saucepan with a lid. When the popcorn begins to pop (after about 2-3 minutes), shake the pot over the heat for about 3 minutes, until popping slows. Remove from heat immediately and let cool for 1 minute.

Over top, drizzle additional olive oil and a sprinkling of lime juice. Top with chipotle seasoning, sea salt and cracked pepper.

Stir or toss popcorn with a wooden spoon to distribute the flavours. Serve.

Cook's Notes: A little goes a long way with the chipotle seasoning. Add a little at a time until you get the desired taste.
