Not Hot Cheetos

Not Hot Cheetos – but an alternative w/ popcorn

Lol – I recently was missing hot cheetos because I (ngl) ate them all day every day as a child. Once in a while I'll let myself buy a bag, particlarly the ‘con limón’ variety but fr…the East Coast does not carry con limón, y’all! So I came up with an alternative that I can make at home. There’s a couple of ways to approach this. I’ll first include the easiest way, which is to buy the popcorn ready-made with white cheddar, but you could also make the popcorn from scratch, too.

Ingredients
  • White cheddar popcorn, store bought
  • Slap ya mama! hot spice (the red one)
  • Lime, for zest and a light squeeze
  • Olive oil
Directions

Pour popcorn into a bowl. Drizzle olive oil. Season the popcorn with Slap Ya Mama spice, and toss. Grab lime, zest, then squeeze a bit on top. Serve.
