1/8teaspoononion powder
1/2teaspoonchili powder
1teaspoonsea salt

3tablespoonscoconut oil

Instructions
Melt butter in small sauce pan
Add spices and lime zest
Stir well and turn off heat
Add coconut oil to a large pot
Turn on high heat
Add 3 kernels of corn and wait for one to pop
When kernel pops, add the 1/2 cup of corn to pot
Place lid on pot
Shake pot vigorously as corn pops (2-3 minutes, you may need to turn heat down a little)
When corn stops popping turn off heat and remove lid, allow a few minutes for popcorn to cool (otherwise it will shrink when butter is added)
Whisk butter well (spices tend to sit on the bottom) and use a knife to stir popcorn as you slowly drizzle spiced butter over corn
Stop when needed to stir well and then drizzle more until all the butter is gone
