Pair this light and spicy popcorn with a refreshing wine like a cooling, medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc for a super-tasty snack you'll crave.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 cup queso fresco, finely crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more or use less depending on spice preference)
  • ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 lime
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large wide pot over high heat, and popcorn, cover and shake often. When popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove from heat.
  2. Use a citrus reamer to juice the lime and evenly mist the popcorn with lime juice; sprinkle with queso fresco, cayenne pepper and cilantro while tossing.
Notes
Tip: Use a small spray bottle to mist the popcorn evenly without drenching it with lime juice.
