About El Yucateco
Available in single bottles, handy 4-packs, or bulk cases of 12, these sauces suit home cooks, chilli enthusiasts, and caterers alike. Drizzle Habanero Hot over tacos al pastor, marinate chicken wings for game day, or mix into guacamole for an explosive dip. The green variety shines in Yucatecan cochinita pibil or as a zingy dressing for grilled prawns, bringing traditional peninsula flavours to your kitchen.
Sourced directly for freshness, El Yucateco guarantees premium quality with no artificial colours. Store in a cool, dry place; once opened, refrigerate and shake well before use. Heat levels build gradually, so start small if you're new to habaneros. Pair with cooling sides like soured cream or fresh coriander to balance the blaze. Elevate your Mexican feasts or experiment in fusion recipes – these sauces transform ordinary meals into extraordinary ones.
