Mexican Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup white cheese powder, such as King Arthur Vermont Cheese Powder.  Buy it HERE.
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
. Usually 1 lime will do
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

• 1/3 cup canola oil
 or Coconut oil. I like the added flavor of this oil with popcorn.
• 3/4 cup popping corn
  (This is plenty. Trust me.)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


How to Make It

Step 1    In a small bowl, mix the cheese powder with the
 salt, chile powder, cilantro, lime zest and cayenne.


Step 2    In a large saucepan, combine the oil and popping corn. Cover and cook over moderately 
high heat until it starts to pop. Shake the pan and cook, shaking occasionally, until the 
corn stops popping, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the melted butter and toss to coat. Add the cheese mixture and toss again. Serve. Or sneak it into a movie theater like I do.
 Make AheadThe popcorn can be stored in an airtight container overnight.​
