Frijoles Charros ~ Recipe Feat. Sonoran Spice
Those that know my hubby can tell you that he loves his food on the spicy side! I usually make this dish using jalapeños and chili powder. However, I have wanted to kick this recipe up a notch but had not found what I was looking for. Last month Sonoran Spice reached out to see if I would like to try out some of their spices. I immediately agreed since I had already heard so many wonderful things about them.
Sonoran Spice generously sent me three of their spice gift box sets. I received their World’s Hottest Pepper Powder Spice Gift Box,
Ghost Pepper Habanero Jalapeno Powder Gift Box,
and the Serrano, Hatch, Jalapeno Powder Gift Set.
I was super excited! These gift boxes are perfect for any spice-loving foodie or anyone who loves to cook with high-quality spices. In this recipe, I used both the Jalapeño and the Habanero powder spices and absolutely loved it! These spices were exactly what I was looking for. They gave my dish the kick I was looking for and made my hubby love this dish even more.
I will have more information about Sonoran Spice below the recipe.
