# Ingredients:

→ Main Items

01 - 2.5 cups of watermelon, chopped into chunks about 2 inches wide
02 - Juice and zest of half a lime
03 - 1/2 tbsp of Tajin powder
04 - 1/3 cup of crumbly cotija cheese
05 - 2 tbsp of freshly minced mint leaves
06 - A sprinkle of flaky salt

→ Tools

07 - 14 wooden sticks for skewers

# Instructions:

01 - Thread 5-6 watermelon cubes onto each skewer, then drizzle with the lime juice and dust with Tajin.
02 - Scatter the cotija crumbles, mint bits, and a touch of flaky salt over the skewers.

# Notes:

01 - Choose watermelon that's juicy and sweet for the tastiest result.
02 - If cotija isn't available, crumbled feta works just as well.
03 - Put these together just before eating so they stay fresh.
04 - Tajin is a seasoning mix from Mexico with mild chili, lime, and salt—you can find it in most stores.
05 - For kids, you could go easy or skip the Tajin altogether.
