In Corpus Christi, where Chris and I grew up, fruit cups are popular. I've been eating these all my life. They offer to make it (and I always order) with lots of the salt+lime juice+chili powder.

You can find cherries, coconut and cucumber inside, too. Most fruit salads skip coconut and cucumber. Fruit cups happen to be one of my favorite things. Since I'm sugar-free, I love making my own fruit cups topped with plenty of chile mix. Every time we go back home, we stop by La Paletera for their huge fruit cups. By the time we arrive at my parents beach house, we have sticky red fingers and lips. Good stuff!
