We went to a Latino Festival this weekend, and bought something of a
fruit salad, with chunks of mango, watermelon, and cantaloupe mixed
together. What was different, however, was that a mexican spice mix
was sprinkled over the fruit--all I know is that there was cayenne
pepper in it. It was a very delicious sweet 'n' sour, hot 'n' cool
combination. Any idea what the spice mixture was?

TIA,
Courtney

Yep. There are competing brands, but every Farmer's Market in the San
Diego area has one of these stands. It makes a good snack break on our
bike rides. Liquados are usually nearby.

Here in Texas they sell a spice in the produce department of a few of
the stores. From what I can tell, it is cayenne pepper, sugar and lemon
zest.
