# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in 10 minutes with zero cooking—just assembly, which means less cleanup and more snacking.
  • The flavor combination feels adventurous and crave-worthy without requiring any fancy techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
  • Vegan, gluten-free, and naturally vegan-friendly, so it works for almost any guest or dietary preference you might have.
02 -
  • Dry your pickles completely or the chamoy won't stick—I learned this the hard way when my first batch slid off after five minutes.
  • Tajín and chili powder look similar, but they're not interchangeable—Tajín has lime and salt built in, while chili powder is purely heat, so use each intentionally.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh or within a few hours; the coating gradually softens as it sits, which isn't bad but changes the texture you worked for.
03 -
  • Make these right before serving or chill for max one hour—the longer they sit, the softer the coating becomes, which changes the whole experience.
  • If you're making these for a party, assemble them on a platter in the hour before guests arrive so the coating is still fresh and clingy when people grab them.
