Four Monkeys' Tex-Mex takes the salt-sweet backbone the range is known for and swings it south of the border — chilli, cumin and garlic stacked into a bold, zesty blend that makes everything it touches taste like a proper cook-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarlic and cumin lead with a warm, earthy depth.
