I am always on the lookout for items that will increase the enjoyment of my meals. This has proved to be both a blessing and a curse. Many a “quick stop to grab one item” turns into an hour long walk through my favorite local grocer.

This happened recently when I stopped to pick up a Keto friendly “dairy snack”. This grocer has nine flavors available so I have to go there. I ended up walking down the condiment isle. I had been looking for the @CholulaHotSauce Chipotle hot sauce at other grocers but all of them were out and did not know when they would have any in stock. While this added another five minutes to what should have been a quick in-and-out my brain soothed my conscience by confirming that the added diversion would help me attain my daily goal of 10,000 steps. Win, win.

A quick glance at the Cholula display assured me that they did in fact have the Chipotle hot sauce I was looking for. It also alerted my brain that there were at least two other flavors I had never seem before. Cue the endorphin rush.

The Tequila & Lime flavor was one of the extra flavors that made its way into my hand-held shopping basket. The other flavor will have to provide a cliffhanger for another review. Although, if you take the time to watch my foray into the real of stop motion you should have no problem figuring it out.

The packaging is very eye catching. The light wooden top and tan wrap trimmed in gold are offset by the reddish-brown contents of the bottle. It has a definite earthy vibe to it.

One of the reasons @CholulaHotSauce has a place in both my heart and condiment selection is they are more than just a hot sauce. They have genuine flavor and this option did not disappoint. There is a pleasant lime aroma and the tequila and lime combine with the spice of the peppers well.

I decided to try the sauce with my breakfast; a mushroom and sausage omelet and grilled asparagus. I had some trepidation about this combination but that was quickly alleviated. What I thought might have been a riot of flavors turned out to be a very pleasant flavor experience. The tequila and lime played nicely with the umami of the mushrooms and sausage. This sauce is not very hot but does provide a pleasant punch. I could see this pairing well with grilled chicken, fish, pork and also being a go to addition for cocktails.

I have to give a thumbs up to the team at @CholulaHotSauce for this delightful condiment. I will continue to make space in my cupboard for this hot sauce while I experiment with it and would highly recommend it. It is not overly hot so most pallets will enjoy the kick while the tequila and lime take things up a notch. So if you happen to see the @CholulaHotSauce Tequila & Lime hot sauce at your favorite grocer grab a bottle and be prepared to have a new food experience.
