Mexican

We created our Mexican Spice Blend for everyone who loves Mexican foods!  I say everyone, because so many people who love the Mexican flavors, but cannot tolerate hot and spicy foods miss out on so much!

I have always loved the Mexican foods, but in truth, I am a sissy pants.  I am one who cannot tolerate the heat at all.  So, it was imperative to me to have all the Mexican flavors but not the heat of a lot of Mexican foods.  So, I went back to things I learned from my good friend Martha who I lived next door to years ago in Oakley, CA.  She was from El Paso, Tx and is Mexican – she taught me a LOT about traditional Mexican cooking.  I combined what I learned from Martha with things I have picked up over the years and put together this spice blend.

It is spicy, but not hot.  It really does have traditional Mexican flavors without using a lot of salt.  In fact, the sodium content is so low per serving that it counts as zero!  So, now you can make great tasting Mexican foods that are far healthier than buying them from the store!  Honestly!  Have you ever looked at how much sodium is in ONE packet of dry Taco Seasoning Mix?  Check it out.  Then come back and get HogWild Spices Mexican Blend!  You won’t be sorry!  (AND, you will never buy Taco Seasoning Mix in a packet again!)

 

 

Here are some of the things we’ve used the spices on (or in):

  • Sprinkled on fresh tomatoes
  • Sauteed or grilled on pork chops or chicken
  • Added to green beans
  • Added to fresh corn
  • Sauteed on summer squash
  • Sauteed on butternut squash
  • Sauteed on sweet bell peppers
  • Grilled on steaks
  • Grilled on hamburgers
  • Grilled on Ostrich burgers (Honest! It was pretty good, too!)
  • Cheese quesadillas

Now for the recipes!
