When the summer time season solar screams throughout Mexico’s town streets and sandy beaches, mangonadas come to the rescue. Also known as chamangos, they may be made with any mixture of mango sorbet, chopped clean mango or mango purée, and can or won’t be spiked, however they’ll continually incorporate the salty, highly spiced and tangy flavors of Tajín and chamoy. Tajín, a chile-lime salt, is a scrumptious addition to candy and savory ingredients alike. Its sister condiment, chamoy, is historically crafted from fermented fruit, salt, sugar and chiles. Depending to your location, you could locate Tajín, chamoy and tamarind straws — their sour, chewy coating provides a further tickle of tartness — at supermarkets or Latin American grocers; all 3 are to be had online.
