Tillamook Country Smoker today announced its latest flavor innovation: Tajín Flavored Beef Jerky. Now available on Amazon and Tillamook’s own website, this new snack combines the savory taste of premium beef jerky with the tangy and spicy kick of Tajín Clásico seasoning, a blend of 100% natural chili peppers, lime and sea salt.

Tillamook’s Tajín Flavored Beef Jerky is perfect for those who crave bold flavors and simple, high-quality ingredients, per the brand. This innovative twist on traditional beef jerky is designed to delight taste buds and elevate the snacking experience.

Packed with protein, low in calories and gluten-free, Tillamook’s Tajín Flavored Beef Jerky is ideal for health-conscious consumers seeking better-for-you snacking options.
