¡Tizón! Sazón · Lumbre Fuego
A chile-lime powder for the snacks you already have in the kitchen. Shake it over popcorn, mango, cucumber or a hot ear of corn, and the plain stuff turns into the cup you used to buy from the cart after school.

The jar is the powder itself. The pouch is thin carne seca from Fort Worth, dusted with the same powder, for the days you want the snack already made. Between them, that is all of the Tizon catalog today.
Chile-lime powder
On popcorn, fruit, corn and wings · 5.25 oz
Mexican-style carne seca
Thin, crisp, ready to eat · 2 oz
Read the jar and the flavor sorts itself into three parts: salt and sour up front, a savory base underneath, and the heat of Fuego on top.
The spice on the label is where the fire comes from. Lumbre means fire, and the Fuego jar is made for people who like a snack that bites back.
Salt leads the ingredient line and citric acid follows close behind. That sour side wakes up fruit and cuts through anything fried.
Onion powder, MSG and yeast extract make the base that lets the same jar work on wings, fries and popcorn, not just on fruit.
Duran Carne Seca · Lumbre
Carne seca is the dried beef of northern Mexico, cut thin and dried until it snaps. Ours comes from Duran Snacks in Fort Worth, Texas, made under USDA inspection at establishment 4188, and every strip is dusted with the same Lumbre powder that is in the jar.
It needs no fridge before you open it, so the 2 oz pouch rides in a truck console, a gym bag or a desk drawer. Tear the notch, eat a few strips, press the zipper shut.
It is the one meat snack in the Tizon lineup, and the one to pack when you will not have a jar with you.
Shake it on
Three places people start. Each page has its own recipes and the dose that works there.
Fruit
Fruit is the first place most people shake Tizon. Mango and watermelon bring the sugar, the powder brings heat and sour, and a squeeze of lime in between makes it all stick.
Snacks
Popcorn is the second thing everyone tries. The trick is warmth and a little fat: shake Tizon onto popcorn straight from the pot, tossing the bowl as you go, and the powder lands on every piece.
Grill
On the grill and in the oven, Tizon goes on at the end. Wings, fries and grilled meat take a shake the moment they come off the heat, while the surface is still hot enough to grab it.
Recipes
Short ones, made with what a regular grocery store sells. Every card says which Tizon product it uses and how long it takes. Every card links the product from the Tizon pantry it calls for.

The label counts one serving as one gram. That is a light, even dusting, and most snacks need about that much.
Toss the popcorn while it is still warm and shake as you toss, so the powder sticks instead of falling to the bottom of the bowl.
Squeeze lime over the fruit first. The juice gives the powder something to cling to, then shake over the top and stir once.
Pat the spears dry, then roll the cut sides in a little powder on a plate. Wet spears turn the powder into a paste.
Butter or mayo goes on first, Tizon second. Turn the ear as you shake so the powder lands on every row.
Season right after they come out of the oven or the fryer. Hot surfaces hold the powder, cold ones do not.
Each gram carries 122 mg of sodium, so count your shakes the way you would count salt. The sodium guide has the arithmetic.
The arithmetic behind the last card is in our sodium note.
Short answers. The longer ones live in our notes.
Salty and sour first, then heat, over a savory onion base. On fruit the sour side comes forward, on popcorn and fries the savory side does.
Fuego is the hot one: it is made for people who like a snack that bites back. If you are new to it, start with a light shake on fruit, where the sweetness softens the heat.
Popcorn, chips, nuts, mango, watermelon, cucumber, jicama, corn, wings, fries, tacos and baked potatoes. Our recipes start with the snacks people shake it on most.
The 5.25 oz jar lists about 148 servings of one gram each.
The label lists 122 mg of sodium in a one-gram serving. Count it like salt: two shakes on a fruit cup is about 244 mg.
