Hump Day Hot Sauce Special! No more packet hoarding!

Greetings fellow foodies!  It's me, Petchiboon!  I know it's been a while so I decided to clue you in on a top secret.  You know those Taco Bell Sauce packets?  You can now buy bottles of them in grocery stores! 


Photobomb!

I know that Taco Bell^® isn't the most healthy habit, but sometimes you can't avoid fast food.  I prefer Taco Bell to most of the other fast food chains since they do have less fried options on their menu. 

One thing that I truly do enjoy from Taco Bell are their sauces.  Their sauces are not quite like salsas, but they are definitely thicker than your average hot sauce.  Sometimes when I am cooking Mexican at home, I find myself using leftover sauce packets to add another dash of flavor to my dishes. 
Now hoarding sauce packets was not a practical thing to do since I didn't want to make a habit of visiting Taco Bell^®, but I started wanting it more and more when I was having Mexican at home.  Can I also add that opening those packets one at a time is a bit tedious?  Then came the realization that Taco Bell^® Hot Sauces are available in grocery stores! 

It all started when I received an invite to the Taco Bell^® Sauces at Home BzzCampaign.  If you aren't familiar with BzzCampaigns, BzzAgent is social marketing company that uses the power of word of mouth to spread buzz about new products.  They send you information and sometimes samples and coupons to try these products so you can share your opinions with everyone you know.  It's made up of normal people like you or me so if you are interested in becoming an agent, check out www.bzzagent.com. 

In my kit, I received a bottle of the Fire Sauce and Mild Sauce.  Other sauces available are the Hot Sauce and Verde Salsa. 

Now that we have a never ending supply of hot sauce, Markus and I have been putting it on just about everything.  They taste just like the ones you get in the packets!  We've been using with our tacos, burritos, quesadillas, eggs, and even in our Super Bowl chili!  It goes well with just about everything. 

 

 

If you aren't familiar with these sauces, they are like concentrated salsas with a blast of Mexican food type seasonings.  These sauces can be used as a condiment, or since they have so much flavor, as a marinade.  I personally haven't tried it out as a marinade or as the sole seasoning to a dish, but now that I have a large portion of sauce to use at my disposal, I do plan on trying it soon!

Anybody have any recipe ideas?
