Carne Asada

SPICY. BRIGHT. EARTHY.

THROW YOUR OWN MEXICAN FIESTA.

"Carne Asada" means grilled meat in Spanish and a well known traditional Mexican dish. In Mexico they make it with thinly sliced skirt or flank steak cooked fast over a very hot grill, then put in a tacos, tortillas or burritos with grilled onions and a spicy Mexican salsa. Yum-y! In southern California, they serve it with queso, onions or sliced avocado and lime. Either way this authentic South American blend will transport you to the Mexican countryside without ever leaving your kitchen.

Flavours

Bright& spicy thanks to the two most popular chillis used in Mexican cuisine - Ancho chilli and Guajillo chilli at the base combined with 8 other spices - from the earthy cumin and coriander seeds to grassy oregano, a touch of acidity from onion and garlic and sweet, fruity undertones of cloves and aniseed.
