The Complete Guide

How To Use It

No prep needed. Shake and add a few drops, then taste.

UseHow much to start
Eggs and breakfast potatoes4 to 6 drops per serving
Tacos, burritos, rice and beansA few dashes
Pizza or mac and cheeseA few drops per slice or bowl
Soups, chili, Bloody Mary mix1/2 to 1 tsp per serving
Wing sauce2 tbsp with 2 tbsp melted dairy-free margarine

A 2 oz bottle holds about 12 one-teaspoon servings, and much more if you use it by the drop.

Tips And Common Mistakes

  • Shake before using. The pepper and spices settle.
  • Use the cap hole, not a pour. The bottle is made to shake out drops. Tip it slowly so you do not flood your food.
  • Add it at the end of cooking for the brightest flavor.
  • Mix with mayo for sandwiches and dips with a smoother heat.
  • Wipe the opening after use so the sauce does not dry and clog it.

Who It's For

  • People who want flavor and mild heat, not burn
  • Anyone who wants a small bottle for work, travel or a lunch bag
  • New hot sauce fans trying a classic brand
  • Gift baskets and stocking stuffers

Not for: people who want a very hot sauce, or anyone who uses a lot of hot sauce, since a 2 oz bottle goes fast.

Recipes to Make

Cholula Wings

4 servingsPrep 10 minCook 45 min
Ingredients
  • 2 lb chicken wings, split into flats and drums

  2. Pat the wings very dry. Toss with the baking powder and salt, then spread them on the rack in one layer.
  3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp.
  4. While they bake, whisk the margarine, hot sauce and honey in a large bowl.
  5. Toss the hot wings in the sauce and serve right away.
Tip: The baking powder helps the skin crisp in the oven without frying.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

Why is the cap wooden?
The round wooden cap is a Cholula trademark look. It sits over a regular plastic cap with a small shaker opening.
How is it different from Tapatío or Tabasco?
Cholula is milder and more spice-forward than Tabasco, which is sharper and more vinegary. Compared with Tapatío, Cholula tastes a bit tangier and less garlicky.
