Make the perfect batch of Chipotle Lime Popcorn for your next game night. This recipe delivers a smoky, zesty kick that will keep everyone reaching for more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or preferred oil)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add three popcorn kernels to the oil. Cover the pot and wait until those kernels pop. This tells you the oil is ready.
  3. Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover and shake the pot gently as the kernels heat up to prevent burning.
  4. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Keep the lid on.
  5. Let the steam escape for about 30 seconds before removing the lid.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chipotle powder, and salt.
  7. Drizzle the lime juice over the freshly popped corn and immediately toss to coat lightly.
  8. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the popcorn and toss again until everything is evenly seasoned.
  9. Sprinkle the lime zest over the popcorn last and give it one final gentle toss.
  10. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh kernels for the best volume and pop rate.
  • Adjust the chipotle powder amount if you prefer less heat.
  • For extra flavor, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the popcorn before adding the dry seasonings.
