I found this wonderful treat at the Fort Worth Stockshow. While I was listening to the vender’s spill, 2 couples walked up saying they came this year just for this spicy mix! They raved about it so much, I bought 3 cans. Of course, I just had to try it right away — was blown away! I’ve used in homemade soups, chili, dips, rubs for meat on the grill, veggies, and, of course, salsa (it’s great by itself w/ the diced tomatoes but even better adding a little onions & cilantro). I returned before the show closed and bought 2 more cans. I had to give one can to my brother-in-law who loves to cook and couldn’t wait to hear what he thought. Spent the night at their house, after going out for the night, returned to their house and he was hungry (I had brought some cans of diced tomatoes knowing he had the mix) so I suggested making the salsa. I got his can down and it hadn’t been opened yet (skeptic)! I made some salsa and he and his family are now hooked. Even added to a sour cream dip they make nearly every weekend during the summer and it added such a kick, they now make it a staple. I guarantee he has now added it to every meal as I have. At work I often bring soups, etc. to share, which I add the spicy mix to and as with any good find I think is wonderful, I shout it from the mountaintops!! I’ve already taken orders for the State Fair — Thanks again — I can basically clear out my cabinet of most spices that I no longer use. It’s hard to impress a Texan with spicy anything (usually no one hits the mark) but I’m sold on this product forever!!!!
