Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Don’t like cashews? Try the same lime chili blend with almonds or pistachios.

If you’re a spice fan, use chipotle chili powder in place of the regular.

Storage
Store the cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for 14 days or in the refrigerator or freezer for up to three months.
