Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil with 3 popcorn kernels in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. When kernels pop, add remaining 1/2 cup kernels. Cook, covered, shaking pan occasionally, until popping slows, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from heat; let stand, covered, 1 minute.
• Stir together spices, salt, and zest in a small bowl. Toss hot popcorn with remaining tablespoon oil in a large bowl; sprinkle with spice mixture. Squeeze lime wedge over popcorn. Toss to coat.

• Season with the chile lime powder, stir in the Chile Lime Pumpkin Seeds and serve.
• Toss the pumpkin seeds with the chile lime powder and olive oil, making sure every single seed is coated.
• Heat a small saute pan on medium-high heat. Toast the pumpkin seeds until crispy, making sure not to burn them, about 3 minutes. Cool and serve. Yield: 1 cup

POPCORN WITH LIME AND CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy pan until it is very hot.
• Add the popcorn and cover with lid.
• Reduce the heat.
• Shake the pan occasionally so all the corn will cook and it will not brown.
• When the popping sound stops, remove pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Discard any kernels that have not popped.
• Add the chili powder. Shake the pan again and again to make sure that all of the corn is covered with chili powder.
• Transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300F degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat (hs note: or unbleached parchment paper). Set aside.
• Put the popcorn in a large, clean paper bag or a washable muslin bag.
• In a medium-size bowl whisk together the butter, lime juice and zest, and tequila. Add the jalapeno. In a small bowl combine the black pepper, salt, red pepper, and cumin.
• Drizzle half of the butter mixture over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag, and shake until the popcorn is coated and moist. Taste.
• Add more of the butter mixture if you like, and give a second shake.
• Sprinkle (most of) the pepper mixture over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag, and shake a few times to coat. Taste, and if you'd like more pepper flavor add the rest of it.
• Spread the popcorn evenly over the baking sheet and bake until the popcorn is dry, five to seven minutes.
