these chili-lime mixed nuts are kissed with just a little bit of homemade love + enough effort to impress but not deliver overkill to your hosting or guest vibe.

the chipotle chili powder delivers a bit of smoke + a touch of heat, while the finishing touch of lime zest sends these over the flavor edge.

why mixed nuts, you ask?

ever been to a pub? ever been to a pub with nuts {easy gutter minds} on the tables for the beer-drinkers enjoyment?

well, we’re using a bit of that theory mixed with if there is one thing that everyone loves at a superbowl party, it’s finger foods! so, these chili-lime mixed nuts are the perfect dish to set out on tables around the house for your guests to munch on in between trips up to the food table.
