ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?? I said ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? Tomorrow, my favorite football team competes in the first game of the season. I am so unbelievably excited! However, along with this comes tons of anxiety on my part on what to make for food. You see in my household, football is all about family, friends, and most of all food. We usually do a lot of entertaining during football season and I always need to  invent new ways to get my football peeps excited about the game with some good ole’ food. In our household, food is a staple and all of us love the food to be SPICY! In our home, there is never such a thing as too much spice! That is why I turn to one of my favorite hot sauces, El Yucateco Hot Sauce, for all my football cooking needs.

To get me started on cooking for all my football needs, I headed to Walmart to buy El Yucateco Hot Sauces. I was not sure what I was going to make but I figured when I shopped at Walmart I would get some inspiration. At Walmart, I saw so many great El Yucateco Hot Sauce flavors including El Yucateco Green Habanero Hot Sauce, El Yucateco Red Habanero Hot Sauce, Black Label Reserve Hot Sauce, and El Yucateco XXX Habanero Hot Sauce (Kutbilik). I found these next to the taco spice aisle at my local Walmart. When I was perusing the aisles, I came up with the perfect football recipe for game night-Spicy Meat Taco Salad! I was so excited to go home and do a test run of my dish.

Upon arriving home, my first thing I did was taste the El Yucateco Red Habanero Hot Sauce.  Let me tell you that I have tasted quite a bit of hot sauces in my time but this perhaps takes the cake. This hot sauce is made with fresh red habanero peppers, tomato, and select spices and seasonings. It has a spicy kick but not one that you have to have a sip of water with each taste of the hot sauce. It has just the right amount of kick to compliment any dish you make. For grilling or cooking this football season, this sauce pairs with grilled meats, shrimp cocktail, or wings.

Then the time came to prepare my Spicy Meat Taco Salad for our football games. I have made a version of this before but not spicy. I was anxious to see how the El Yucateco Hot Sauce added flare to my dish. If I was successful in making this, this would be the main dish of all our football watching games. There is nothing better than a grilled meat dish to get you started for the 2015 football season!
