Bringing the heat to summer cookouts is oh-so-easy when you use hot sauces. These Spiced Pork Ribs are even easier because they can be cooked start-to-finish in the oven or seared on the grill. All you need is a handful of ingredients & great pork ribs wrapped in foil – and let your oven do the work. Easy-peasy. Your summer barbecues will be the talk of the neighborhood.
Tajín Fruity Chamoy Sauce is the secret ingredient. Made with 100% natural chiles, lime juice, sea salt and a hint of apricot, is has a unique sweet-and-spicy flavor without too much heat.
And don’t just use it on your ribs. Drizzle over fresh fruits and veggies like mango, pineapple, and watermelon for added flavor. Add it to beverages, like smoothies, mangonadas, ice pops, and cold drinks. It also pairs well with snacks like tortilla chips, chicken wings, pizza, and even micheladas.
If you like added spice, you’ll love this on everything. (Move over ketchup!)
