Gran Luchito for tacos and fajitas
The Fajita & Taco Mix is 65% chipotle, with Mexican oregano, coriander, lime and smoked salt. Stir it through mince for taco meat, or season strips of steak, chicken, capsicum and onion for fajitas. It is smoky and warming rather than fiery. Find more in taco seasonings and Mexican flavours.
Gran Luchito for steak, chicken and pulled pork
The Chipotle Paste is thick and glossy. It goes smoky first, then sweet from caramelised onion and dark agave, then the heat arrives. Rub it into steak or chicken before the grill, or cook it low and slow with pulled pork or brisket. A little goes a long way. See more chipotle products and pulled pork picks.
