This past summer I worked at the annual Summer Fancy Food Show as a demonstration chef. As a freelance chef, every job is appreciated however, this was a really a secondary reason for my attendance. My main reason for attending was to look for some great brands that I would be honored to represent here on the Schizo Chef’s blog. Any break I had from my demonstration chef duties, I was on the prowl visiting the different booths and sampling everything to discover what new products would WOW me.
One of the booths was the El Yucateco hot sauce brand. I was already familiar with this hot sauce company as many Mexican restaurants here in NY use their brand of hot sauce on the table. The green and red habanero hot sauce bottles are on every table. Their hot sauce is also available at my local supermarket. However, I was unaware of the broad range of hot sauce varieties El Yucateco produces, including the Black Label version. I immediately fell in love with the Black Label El Yucateco hot sauce. It was hot, sweet and smoky but without the acidity that I despise in many hot sauce brands. This has become my new #1 favorite hot sauce.
As a result, I am so excited to announce my new partnership with El Yucateco. As brand ambassador for El Yucateco, I’ll be developing some recipes using their tastebud tantalizing hot sauces, one of which is in this post today. Additionally, they have agreed to sponsor a #giveaway.
One lucky winner will receive 3 varieties of El Yucateco, #KingofFlavor hot sauces. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post on how you would use the hot sauce if you won. Do you plan on using it in a great marinade for some barbecue or use in a great dipping sauce for empanadas or perhaps you prefer it au natural sprinkled on some tacos? Let me know your ideas! Additional entries are available by social media follows! #Giveaway runs until October 26.

I would make a taco soup, chilies, or meat for nachos.
I would use El Yucateco on tacos and in stews.
On top of an egg dish, i love eggs with hot sauce and sour cream
I would use them in sandwiches for that extra kick! Congrats and Good luck on this partnership
I would use it on chicken, beef and pork, we love our spicy foods here in Louisiana.
Congratulations Mir, this is such a great opportunity.
I love hot sauce in my eggs and also in wraps or sandwiches for that spicy heat.
I lovee hot sauce on just about anything savory that I eat. I love the peachy pepper salad recipe you had above too. But hot sauce on chicken or any other kind of meat is great
