The Complete Guide
How To Use It
Start with a few dashes and add more to taste. A teaspoon is one label serving.
| Use | How much to start |
|---|---|
| Tacos, burritos, quesadillas | A few dashes per taco |
| Fried or scrambled eggs | 1/2 to 1 tsp per 2 eggs |
| Soup, chili or beans | 1 to 2 tsp per pot serving of 4 |
| Marinade for chicken or beef | 2 to 3 tbsp per pound of meat |
| Spicy mayo or dip | 1 tbsp per 1/4 cup mayo or sour cream |
It is also good on popcorn, fruit like mango or cucumber with lime, pizza, rice and roasted potatoes.
Tips And Common Mistakes
- Shake the bottle first. The spices can settle at the bottom.
- Add it near the end of cooking when you want the most flavor. Long boiling dulls the pepper taste.
- Watch the salt. Taste before salting a dish you have already sauced.
- Wipe the bottle neck after use so the cap does not crust over.
- Mix it into fat, like mayo, oil or sour cream, for a smoother, rounder heat.
Who It's For
- Anyone who wants an everyday table hot sauce with flavor, not just heat
- Taco, burrito and egg lovers
- Cooks who want a quick way to spice up marinades, soups and dips
- Households that go through hot sauce fast and like a spare bottle
Not for: people who want a very hot, extreme sauce.
Recipes to Make
Spicy Tapatío Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Tapatío hot sauce, plus more to serve
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Steps
- Stir the hot sauce, oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin and salt together in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
- Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
- Cook the chicken in a hot skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F inside).
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan. Fill with chicken, onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and extra Tapatío.
Tip: Thighs stay juicier than breasts. If you use breasts, cut the cooking time by a few minutes.
Tapatío Lime Crema
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tbsp Tapatío hot sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Steps
- Stir everything together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Taste and add more hot sauce if you want it hotter.
- Spoon over tacos, nachos, grain bowls or baked potatoes. Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Tip: Swap the sour cream for mayo to make a spicy sandwich spread.
Spicy Breakfast Eggs With Black Beans
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
- 1 tsp Tapatío hot sauce, plus more to serve
- 4 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped green onion
Steps
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beans and hot sauce and warm for 2 minutes.
- Push the beans to the side. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set, 3 to 4 minutes, or scramble them if you prefer.
- Sprinkle with salt, cheese and green onion. Cover for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
- Serve with warm tortillas and extra Tapatío at the table.
Tip: Add the extra hot sauce at the table so each person can choose their heat.

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
Is this chunky salsa?
No. Despite the name Salsa Picante, it is a thin, pourable hot sauce.
How hot is it?
Most people find it mild to medium, hotter than ketchup-style sauces but far from extreme. Start with a few dashes and add more to taste.
How does it compare to Cholula?
Both are thin Mexican-style red sauces. Tapatío leans more garlicky and peppery, while Cholula is built on arbol and piquin peppers with a slightly more vinegary taste. Many people keep both.
Are the bottles 5 ounces by weight?
They are labeled 5 fluid ounces (148 mL) each, which is a measure of volume.
Is it normal for the sauce to darken?
Yes. A darker color over time is normal and does not by itself mean the sauce has gone bad.
