Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 1.5 cups Peanuts (roasted, unsalted)
- 0.5 cups Butter
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tortilla chips, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and peanuts. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, hot sauce, and lime zest until fully combined.
Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the snack mix in the bowl. Gently toss everything together using a large spatula, making sure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the snack mix in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the cooled snack mix for an extra burst of flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or pack into small zip-top bags for easy transport.
