Pair with Ruffino Lumina Prosecco

Flatbread:

2 Peaches, Pitted and Cut Into ¼-Inch Slices

1 tsp Tajín® Clásíco Seasoning

2 Pcs Flatbread

8 oz Mini Bocconcini, Torn

2 Cups Arugula

Pesto:

1 Cup Lightly Packed Fresh Basil Leaves

1 Clove Garlic

In food processor, pulse together basil, oil, parmesan, pine nuts, lime juice, TAJÍN® and garlic, until smooth; set aside. Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Toss peaches with oil and season with TAJÍN®. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until lightly charred. Spread pesto on each flatbread leaving ½-inch border. Top with peach slices and bocconcini pieces. Grill, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until well-marked and cheese is starting to melt. If flatbread is charring too quickly on grill, move to indirect heat. Top with arugula before serving. Tip: Pita, naan, or pizza crust all can be used for the flatbread crust as preferred. Finish flatbread also with thinly sliced prosciutto if desired.

grilled tajin & maple chicken wings

grilled tajin & maple chicken wings

For the Chicken Wings:

2 Pounds Chicken Wings

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 Tbsp Tajín® Clásico Seasoning

Glaze & Garnish:

¼ Cup Pure Maple Syrup

3 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

1 tsp Tajín® Clásico Seasoning

To Serve:

¼ Cup Minced Cilantro Leaves, to Garnish

Extra Lime Wedges, to Serve

When ready to cook, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine wings, olive oil, TAJIN®, and toss until the chicken is completely coated in the mixture. (Note: This step can be done up to 4 hours before grilling – the longer the wings marinate in the TAJÍN® mixture, the better.) Transfer the wings to the grill, placing directly on the grill grates in a single layer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden on the outside and cooked through on the inside (and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F). Meanwhile, combine maple, lime, and TAJÍN® in a large bowl and mix well. When the chicken wings are done, immediately transfer them to the maple glaze bowl and toss well to coat entirely in glaze. Transfer chicken wings to a serving platter and sprinkle over the cilantro. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
