Popcorn Preparation

Pop the Popcorn
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot, and cover with a lid. Once the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover and shake the pot occasionally until the popping slows down. Remove from heat when popping has stopped.

Season the Popcorn
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl. While the popcorn is still warm, sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese, Tajín seasoning, and salt over the popcorn. Toss gently to coat the popcorn evenly.
