Juicy ripe pineapple spears are tossed with fresh lime juice, a generous dusting of chili powder, and a touch of salt and cinnamon in this classic Mexican street-food-style fruit snack. The combination of sweet, tart, salty and spicy is a beloved everyday treat across Mexico, sold by fruit vendors (fruteros) from carts on nearly every corner.

Instructions
1
Peel and core the pineapple, then slice into neat spears or bite-sized wedges and divide between 2 bowls.
2
Squeeze fresh lime juice evenly over the pineapple pieces in both bowls.
3
In a small dish, mix the fine sea salt with a pinch of cinnamon.
4
Sprinkle chili powder generously over the pineapple, followed by the salt-cinnamon mix, turning the pieces gently so they're evenly coated.
5
Let the bowls sit for 5 minutes at room temperature so the lime juice and spices penetrate the fruit before serving.
