El Yucateco Hot Sauce Giveaway Featuring Caliente Frito Pie Deluxe SauceOn CollectiveBias
Disclosure: This shop and giveaway has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its Advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.
I recently discovered a new-to-me a habanero hot sauce that lets me #SauceOn to bring a burst of spicy heat to many of my favorite recipes. El YucatecoHot Sauce is made in Mexico and comes in four different spicy varieties: Red Habanero Sauce, Green Habanero Sauce, XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Sauce, and Black Label Reserve -- their newest flavor! Thanks to #CollectiveBias, I recently learned that all four flavors of El Yucateco hot sauce can be found in the Hispanic Foods aisle at Walmart.
If youve shied away from hot sauces made with habanero peppers in the past because you feared that theyd be TOO hot...dont! I found the El Yucateco Chile Habanero sauces very tasty. They definitely pack a fiery kick -- especially straight from the bottle -- but they also have lots of flavor. When added as a recipe ingredient, they bring a smooth heat...more of a slow burn than in-your-face fire. For example, I used the Black Label Reserve hot sauce to amp up a comfort classic: Caliente Frito Pie Deluxe. Let me show you how I took a gameday classic and gave it a grown-up twist.
Caliente Frito Pie Deluxe
a Weekend Gourmet Original
Ingredients (for one serving):
- 1 cup Fritos corn chips
- 3/4 cup of your favorite chili
- El Yucateco Black Label Reserve hot sauce to taste -- I used 1/2 tsp.
- 1/2 cup shredded colby-cheddar cheese
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/4 Roma tomato, diced
- 1/4 avocado, diced
- 2 tbs. sour cream mixed with 2 drops El Yucateco Black Label Reserved hot sauce
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375. Place the corn chips in an oven-safe crock or serving bowl. Heat the chili, stir in the El Yucateco Black Label Reserve hot sauce, and pour over the chips. Top with the shredded cheddar. Bake at 375 until the cheese is melted -- about 5 minutes.
Step 2: While the cheese is melting, mix the sour cream with 2 drops El Yucateco Black Label reserve. Spoon the sour cream in the middle of the cooked Frito pie. Sprinkle the green onion, avocado, and tomatoes on top. Eat immediately, while the chips are still crunchy.
Thats it! In about 15 minutes, you can have a spicy deluxe version of plain ol Frito pie. The El Yucateco hot sauce definitely upped the spice factor of the chili, but the sour cream and avocado cooled each bite off very nicely. For those who really love their food spicy, additional El Yucateco can be sprinkled on top of their Frito pie. I enjoyed this fancier version of Frito pie much more than the traditional version I usually make. To make this dish for a crowd, simply multiply the ingredients by 4 and bake in a casserole dish.

February HEB Primo Picks Super Deluxe Cornbread Made with Central Market Honey Cornbread Mix
This months HEB Primo Pick featured item is Central Market All Natural Honey Cornbread Mix. Ive seen this mix on the shelf, so I was really excited to try it. Im from the south...I grew up eating cornbread at least once a week, and I love it! I especially love it when a quick mix produces results just as good as homemade...which this mix does. This is a southern-style cornbread mix, which means its sweet. My mama always added a heaping spoon of sugar to her cornbread growing up, and this mix is moist with sweetness from honey. All you have to add is milk, an egg, and some melted butter and youre ready to make a batch of some really tasty cornbread!
I decided to use this mix to create a flavorful cornbread to serve with red beans and rice with sausage for a quick dinner earlier this week. Because my cornbread has so many different layers of flavor, I decided to call it Super Deluxe Cornbread. When you look at the recipe see all the fun stuff I added to it, youll know see why "super deluxe" was the only name that did this cornbread justice.
Super Deluxe Cornbread
a Weekend Gourmet Original
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment, which will make it much easier to remove the cornbread from the pan and cut it. Set aside. Add the following ingredients to a large mixing bowl: 1 package Central Market Honey Cornbread Mix, 2-3 sliced green onions, 2 slices crumbled bacon, 3/4 cup kernel corn, 3/4 cup shredded co-jack cheese, and 2 tbs. dry ranch dressing mix.
Step 2: Add the following ingredients to a large measuring cup: 1 1/4 cups milk, one large egg, and 1/4 cup melted butter; whisk until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir just until everything is combined. Spray the reserved pan with non-stick spray and evenly spread the cornbread mix in the pan.
Step 3: Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the cornbread is golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove the cornbread from the pan using the foil or parchment as a sling. Cool completely, then cut into squares to serve with plenty of butter.
This cornbread was so good! It was moist and sweet...and the fresh corn kernels brought a nice freshness. The bacon brought a nice smokiness, and the green onions provided color and a light onion flavor. The ranch seasoning was present in each bite, but it didnt overwhelm any of the other flavors...it was a last-minute addition, but I really liked it!
This recipe would also make really great corn muffins, and leftovers will freeze well if wrapped tightly and placed in a freezer bag. I served this cornbread for dinner, but it would also be great as part of a Sunday Brunch with hash browns, eggs, and sausage or bacon. My Texas readers can find this Central Market Honey Cornbread mix in the baking aisle at their local HEB or Central Market grocery stores.
