Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups pretzel sticks
- 2 cups cheese crackers
- 2 cups corn chips
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzel sticks, cheese crackers, and corn chips. Toss to distribute evenly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 20-30 seconds). Stir in the taco seasoning, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Drizzle the butter mixture over the snack mix, gently stirring to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
Transfer the coated snack mix to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the Taco Pickup Sticks Snack Mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
