Tijuana Tidbits Recipe Rating 5

Tortilla chips, chili powder and cayenne pepper lend to the Mexican flavor of this snack mix, while corn syrup and brown sugar add a bit of sweetness. I like to package it in holiday tins to give as gifts.—Beverly Phillips, Duncanville, Texas

Great change from traditional snack mix. Biggest problem I had was my roasting pan wasn't large enough to stir it.
