Description

Stovetop popcorn infused with lime zest, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro. This was a hit with my entire family.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 cup Your Favorite Popcorn Kernels
  • 1 whole Lime, Zest Only
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons Salt To Taste
  • ¼ cups Cotija Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

Preparation

Start by heating a large pot on medium-high heat. Add oil and a few of the popcorn seeds. Cover, and shake a few times. Once kernels pop, add remaining popcorn kernels, cover, and continue to shake covered pot until all kernels have popped.

Add lime zest to a large bowl. Uncover, and pour popcorn into bowl. Pour in melted butter and salt, and give it a good toss. Toss a few more times until all popcorn is nicely coated with butter and salt.

Add cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Toss a couple of more times, then taste and season accordingly.

What really makes this popcorn standout is the lime zest and cotija cheese. If you have never had cotija cheese, think of it like Parmesan cheese, or even feta cheese. The fresh cilantro also freshens up the flavor of this popcorn.
