This fiesta popcorn recipe is a delicious, healthy, affordable snack with a Mexican twist. It’s perfect for a party because kids and adults will love it.

Homemade popcorn is one of the easiest, most affordable real food snacks you can make. That’s why I make sure to always have popcorn kernels on hand. If my children have a last-minute play date after school and there’s “nothing to eat,” I can always pop some popcorn to make a sweet or savory snack. Everyone loves it, and it’s perfect for family movie night or a snack on the road.

This fiesta popcorn recipe is a breeze to make, especially if you keep homemade taco seasoning on hand. It’s addictive, so you shouldn’t expect to have leftovers if you’re feeding a group of hungry kids or adults. For a sweet popcorn snack, try my chocolate popcorn recipe or my maple gingerbread popcorn recipe.
