Tabanero Hot Sauce Spiced Up My Dinner and Here’s My Recipe

Hot sauce. I put it on almost everything. No lie, I go through so much of it and then I’m on the hunt for something newer, spicier, different. When I was offered a complimentary three-pack of Tabanero Hot Sauce for the purposes of reviewing, who could turn that down? (The photos and opinions below are all my own.)

I’m not so great at menu planning. I mean well, but I usually go to the store with a list and some basic ideas that come together after I get home. Following a recent trip to Sprout’s Farmers Market, I was fully stocked on fresh produce and some non-GMO meats for the week. Beyond that, what to do? A few recipes were scattered in my head but I wanted to shake them up a bit. I decided to use my sweet chicken sausage, bell peppers and fresh corn and make them into something my family would really enjoy.

I started by frying up the sausage; it was a good quality sausage with no real fat to drain. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and added in some chopped purple onion until it was just a bit wilted. I then added in a can of black beans, drained, the juice of a lime and 3 tbsp of Tabanero Hot sauce in the Agave Sweet and Spicy flavor. Meanwhile, while that was heating up gently over low heat, I boiled the bell peppers, cut in half and seeded, and then blanched them to stop the cooking process. (I cut the bell peppers in half from top to bottom, they’re easier to stuff and eat.) Each bell pepper half was then filled with the sausage mixture and placed in a lightly oiled 8 x 8 baking pan, where I sprinkled each with some grated three-cheese blend. Once the oven was heated to 400 degrees, I popped the peppers into the oven to heat for approximately 15-20 minutes. I used that time to make the corn, which was really easy.

Sometimes the little things make all the difference in the food. The Tabanero Hot Sauce added a sweet yet spicy zing to the pepper filling. You can add a little more if you want, but you don’t want the filling to be overly juicy or it will be messy to eat. Tabanero Hot Sauce is available at Sprout’s and other stores; you can learn more about the new product at their website. The product is also available online with free shipping. In addition to the Agave Sweet and Spicy, it’s also available in Hot Sauce Picante and Extra Hot flavors. I liked all three, but our favorite is the Agave. We didn’t find the “Extra Hot” to be as hot as we expected, but it has a good kick of flavor and was great mixed with ketchup for a spicy french fry dip. I also use the Hot Sauce Picante in a homemade salsa and the guests picked up that it was something new.  For some other ideas on using it, follow them on Twitter.

Tabanero is made with habanero peppers, carrots, onions, key lime juice, agave nectar, garlic and salt. All the products are quality and it’s made in the USA. They also make a blood mary mix which sounds SO good. I love a good bloody mary but it has to be spicy and not all mixes fit the bill. I need to get my hands on some of that.

If you’re like me and feel like spice is undervalued in many foods, grab a bottle of Tabanero and give it a try. It’s not overly sweet and it won’t burn your mouth, so don’t be afraid to dab a corner of your quesadilla into it at lunch. Or pour it on your enchilada at night, like I will be in about 20 minutes. I put the Tabanero on the table last night during my husband’s birthday dinner — chicken enchiladas with red sauce — and it made its way around to everyone. It’s really that good.

As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver pulled over briefly on this bridge across the river Seine. She explained to us that it was a very popular place for people to take wedding and engagement photos. We got lucky, traffic cleared for a moment and I snapped this shot of a bride and groom in their honeymoon car, just about to drive away. It was a beautiful first real view of this city of romance. I want to go back again, just to wander and eat and try more wines, no real agenda beyond walking and taking it all in.

Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, b Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, but this day spent kayaking on Chilkoot Lake was incredible. Cold, deep water. Snowy peaks. Glacier fed. Slightly terrifying but once we got in the groove, we kicked ass. 10/10 if you take an Alaskan passage cruise.

With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in theaters, the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is even more relevant to me when I visit the park. Last week, the morning after I saw the movie, I was at my happy place and the first ride I went on was Mission Breakout. I got a kick out of the scene where Drax punches the animal in the face, and once you’ve seen GOTG3, you’ll get why. I considered going on it again, but I was on the Carthay wait list (highly recommended if you don’t have a reservation, particularly if there’s only 1-2 in your party) and I got my text to return within 15 minutes for my seat…and I really wanted the bao buns. I did head back later in the evening to watch a Marvel show with Black Widow by the Quinjet. Never saw Mantis though, was really hoping to get a picture with her. 

Don’t skip the gift store on your way off the ride. There’s a whole new batch of GOTGVol3 gear AND new Loki stuff! The purple Loki hoodie had just come out and I grabbed one before they sold out, even though I can’t imagine when I’ll wear it next here in SoCal. With the show coming out on October 6, I’ll wear it…with the a/c on if I need to. There’s also some new stuff in the Studio 17 store — if you haven’t visited it, it’s full of photo opps and gear for all your Marvel needs.

Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, removing its iconic trolley — a photo opp of many memories with my Toontown-playing son — and adding a new ride, Mickey’s Runaway Railway. It’s a mix of animation, motion and music, and I LOVED it. Come along with me on a quick tour of the line-waiting area and part of the ride. Don’t worry, I didn’t share too much so you will still have plenty of surprises!  Say what you will about Disney-loving adults, I don’t care, I waited 35 minutes to ride this and I’ll do it again next time..and the next…and the next. Only warning: hold onto your hats, and ears! The ride is safe and smooth but there are some quick movements that may catch you off guard.

Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I i Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I imagine it would feel like when you’re a contestant on Chopped. What’s in the box? What can I make with it? Except without the pressure to get it all done in 45 minutes or less. Each box makes me be creative, and each item I’ve never tried pushes me a little out of my comfort zone to try new things. Whatever it is, we have so much fun! This box included Blue Potatoes, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Dragon Fruit (Yellow), Ojai Pixie Tangerines, Rhubarb, and a big bag of Fava Beans….which may be my favorite, because shelling them is relaxing and you can’t have too many fava beans and Chianti jokes.

Thank you @MelissasProduce! I’ll be sharing recipes soon. I’m thinking up ideas and will be making them all this week to post here in a reel or on my website. I’ll update later!
