January 22nd is National Hot Sauce day - perfect for trying out the zingy , lip tingling Tabanero Hot Sauce. This is a great new sauce that can liven up everything from your wings to even your cupcake frosting. It's a great plus to any game day menu or Mexican themed party. All it takes is a few drops.
Tabanero is the real deal as far as hot sauces are concerned. One big plus is that's it's all natural , using Mexican based ingredients. The peppers come from the area of Tabasco in the sun drenched Yucatan Peninsula. Agave syrup is also added to give it a sweetness that other sauces don't possess. The best part is that slightly sour aftertaste thanks to the elimination of vinegar in the recipe.Veggies such as good for you carrots and onions are also added for that kick of antioxidants.Also, unlike most hot sauces, there is also grapefruit seed extract too with its many benefits, Another plus in Tabanero's flavor is no preservatives (although the grapefruit seed extract does have preservative properties). This is like a tabasco sauce you'd make at home or buy during a trip to Mexico.The ingredients mellow after a while but that adds to the flavor.Thanks to the agave it's also versatile. It can be added to almost everything from huevos rancheros to a mole cupcakes.
I love the taste.It's different than other commercially made which are just too fiery and sour. To be honest I'm not one to put any hot sauce in my chile or taco fillings. That's all going to change now. It is lip tingling , true, but I like the cushion of the agave's sweetness to counter the habanero's sharp bite. A few drops is definitely going into the chicken fillings I make for my tacos. It's also going to be added to my hamburgers for zing and even to my Sloppy Joe mix. Tabanero can also be used as a spicy marinade for chicken and turkey. Definitely use it as a marinade and a dip for those Super Bowl Party wings as well as a great addition to those Bloody Marys(or better yet a Bloody Mary Punch).Since it has the sweetness of the agave it can be used in desserts too. Make fiery s'mores with them or add a few drops to a chocolate cake or frosting for a Mexican mole style dessert.A teaspoon can give an eye opening lift to chocolate fondue or homemade fudge sauce. Add a dash to your chocolate ice cream recipe for a zesty cold treat.
Celebrate National Hot Sauce day with a dash or Tabanero Hot Sauce.It is far different from other hot sauces. It's fiery and sweet, zingy and fun. Use it for your chile or for your wings, or better yet hot fudge sundae.
