Calling all Hot Sauce fans! I have a brand of hot sauce that you will want to try! I love hot food. Three summers ago I had jalapeno plants growing in my garden and every day I harvested 3 or 4 peppers and added them in every food possible. So when I was given the opportunity to try out El Yucateco hot sauce, I was very excited!

El Yucateco products are found at many Publix and Walmart locations. I found them in the International Foods aisle of my local Publix. If you don’t see El Yucateco products at your Publix, let customer service know!

El Yucateco has three different types of hot sauce to choose from at Publix. I bought all three so that I could try them each out. They have Red Habanero Sauce, Green Habanero Sauce and XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Sauce. If you take a taste of each of these sauces, you will tell immediately that they pack a great kick! They are hot! But besides the heat, they each have a unique flavor that will help any of your meals become more flavorful.

Of the three sauces, my favorite was El Yucateco’s Red Habanero Sauce. The immediate flavor that I tasted when I tried the Red Habanero Sauce was habanero peppers. But layered behind the peppers were tomatoes and spices.

I like to make cheesy scrambled eggs for my son. And while I didn’t add hot sauce to his eggs (he’s only 22 months and not a fan of spicy food.. yet 😉 ), I added hot sauce to a simple cheddar cheese omelet that I made for myself. It packed a tasty punch. Just a few drops added such an amazing flavor to my omelet!

I’ve also been on a huge pizza kick lately. When I bought the bottles of El Yucateco products at Publix, I also bought pizza dough from their bakery. With the dough, I made a Mexican Pizza. I followed my regular Mexican Pizza recipe but made a small addition. I added a few drops of El Yucateco’s Red Habanero Sauce to the ground beef.

The pizza came out amazing. It is normally a flavorful pizza, but with a few drops of Red Habanero Sauce in the ground beef, it had an extra flavorful kick. You immediately noticed that the pizza was spicier and also flavorful as the ground beef took on flavors of habanero peppers!

I wanted to use both the Red Habanero Sauce and Green Habanero Sauce with the cooked pizza so I added a few drops to the plate of a piece of pizza. I was able to dip bite sized pieces of pizza into the sauce and get an additional bang of heat with each bite.
