Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat), and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it evenly over the ingredients in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, Tajín seasoning, honey (if using), and salt to create a tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more Tajín or lime juice if desired.
