Instructions
- First, slice the fresh jalapeño (remove the seeds) and cut a lime into fourths. If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and coat it with Tajin for an optional rim.
- Next, add the jalapeño slices and half of a lime to the bottom of the glass and muddle to release the flavor.
