Tropical tamarind, smoked chiles and earthy aromatics produce a melody of sweet and savory flavors with medium to hot heat. This sauce owes its richness to a smooth oil-blended base. With its bold flavors, Tamaulipeka is perfect for marinating pork or for spreading on a torta, Tamaulipas-style.
Ingredients: Non-gmo corn oil, chili peppers, tamarind concentrate (tamarind pulp, water, maple sugar), distilled white vinegar reduced to 4% acidity, garlic, celery, onion, salt
Size: 5 oz
This hot sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. It has a strong but pleasant burn with the sweet and slightly tangy taste of tamarind. I use this on everything, but it is especially good on hot wings.
I've been cooking more at home and being more mindful of what Im eating. 80% of the time, my dishes are delightful but i'm still learning. So i've been experimenting with creating different marinades and making my meals more delightful so that i don't resort to the usual takeout just to ease my hunger. I used to go to Cantina Royale many moons ago and loved their different salsas, so was super stoked when i found out they were making hot sauce.
There are hot sauces that are bandaids, if you will, something to make a bland dish palatable, to make it worth all the delivery fees. To me - This sauce isn't for bland food. This sauce is no bandage, its a cure. It makes you want to eat better; to respect yourself by respecting what you eat. It's an experience. a dollop of sauce - it hits your tongue in a smoky little package. Then , theres the heat. and as the heat slowly fills your mouth theres a whisper of sweetness that weaves through the heat and and takes little bites of the smokiness until they are one. and the aroma - it lingers a few inches above the dish and its a gloss on the lips. I use it for my marinades and recently i've been making a corn bread pudding square dish (i'm not a chef - don't know what to call it) the pairing of this and corn, is the highlight of my summer. This sauce makes me want to be a better cook. It makes me want to be a better person.
The problem is with this hot sauce is that it doesn’t come in a big enough size. We go through it too quick! A wider container would also help with the oil separation. Just make a bigger container!
This is my favorite hot sauce. I put it on everything. Just the right amount of sweetness and heat. Amazing on breakfast burritos. 🔥
I’ve been using this sauce for a couple years now and love it, it’s my favorite I put it on everything it’s best on meats or noodles I use it for breakfast sandwiches hamburger 10/10 I like heat but I’m not crazy about it, this has the perfect amount of heat
