My favorite food is Mexican, I LOVE Mexican everything. The spices, chilies, beans, meat, rice, salsa, dips it’s all the perfect combination to my food pallet. I think it’s the cumin, when I’m in the Hispanic food kick, I get out the cumin and add it to everything. I was cooking pizza the other night out of cumin and I had a thought, what would be the easiest way to turn any regular meal into a Mexican dish?
How about just switching any red sauce, or ketchup product with Salsa! Hormel makes Chi Chi’s Salsa and Herdez Salsa and I have to warn you that the Herdez Chipotle Salsa has quite the kick.
Use Salsa in place of red sauce in pizza or Calzones.
