Calories 35 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 8 whole dill pickles
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • ½ cup chamoy sauce such as Chamoy Mega Original or I Love Chamoy
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons chamoy candy powder
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons sweet & sour mango powder
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Tapatío hot sauce optional, adjust to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the pickles from their jar and poke each several times with a fork to help the marinade absorb better.
  • Place the pickles into a Mason jar or sealable container.
  • Add the dill pickle juice, chamoy sauce, Tajín, chamoy candy powder, mango powder, and hot sauce (if using) to the jar.
  • Seal the jar tightly and shake well until all ingredients are combined and the pickles are coated.
  • Refrigerate the jar for 5 to 7 days, shaking once daily to ensure even flavor distribution.
  • After marinating, serve the pickles cold with optional toppings like extra Tajín, crushed candy, or sour belts.

Notes

Use firm, crunchy pickles like Kosher dills or Big Tex for best texture. For a milder version, reduce or skip the hot sauce. You can also slice the pickles and stuff them with candy or serve as a garnish for micheladas. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
