"Tajín is proud to partner with amazing brands such as Tyson, a prestigious American brand that shares our quality and values. With this partnership, we invite all Tyson fans in the United States to enjoy the savory taste of Tajín in the new Tyson products," said Javier Leyva, Tajín International Corporate Director for the U.S. "We understand that consumers are increasingly seeking authentic flavors such as Tajín's very own chili lime, and we can't wait for them to experience it as the focal point of their mealtime."
Tajín has also joined forces with MasterChef Latino judge and MasterChef 6 winner Claudia Sandoval to create another 10 exclusive recipes that are available on www.tajin.com.
On partnering with Tajín, "I love how Tajín adds a special kick of flavor to a wide variety of dishes. As a mom and as a professional chef, I like to include Tajín as part of my seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs, I use on chicken, fish and meat" said Claudia Sandoval, MasterChef Latino judge and Tajín's spokesperson. "It really creates a unique flavor the entire family loves."
Tajín Clásico Seasoning is the #1 chili lime seasoning in Mexico and the United States. In the past four years, the flavor has grown 65% on U.S. menus.
In May, Tajín partnered with Hillshire Farm to introduce its Chili Lime Smoked Sausage with Mango. And in January, they released Chili Lime Chicken Nuggets and Boneless Chicken Bites with Tyson.
Joining forces with protein brands is a natural fit for Tajín. Its chili lime flavor is very versatile across food groups and the flavor is widely accepted on fish, poultry, pork and beef.

And it doesn't end there. In 2019, Tajín also collaborated with food service and lifestyle brands across different categories including spirits and even fashion. The products are distributed in more than 24,000 stores across all major retailers in the U.S. including Target and Walmart
