BLUES HOG: 'Ritas & Fajitas Seasoning – 184g Shaker

Tex-Mex in a shaker

Say yes to Tex-Mex. Blues Hog 'Ritas & Fajitas is a bold, zesty blend inspired by classic fajita spice and carne asada seasoning — built to bring the sizzle to grilled chicken, steak and veg. Works as a dry rub or a fajita marinade base, whichever way the night's heading.

The flavour

Bright and zesty up front with warm cumin-and-chilli backbone, rounded out by savoury depth and just the right amount of spice. Vibrant rather than fiery — the flavour that makes a plate of fajitas sing.

How to cook with it

• Toss sliced chicken or steak in oil and a heavy shake, then sear hard for sizzling fajitas.
• Rub whole carne asada before the grill and slice thin across the grain.
• Season capsicum, onion and mushroom for charred fajita veg.
• Stir a spoonful through sour cream for a quick Tex-Mex dip — the rogue move for taco night.

In the shaker

An even, medium grind in a shaker-top bottle — sprinkles clean over meat and veg, no clumping.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Fire up a fajita night and this is Darryl's stowaway of choice. Season the chicken or steak, cook it down with a splash of Butchers Axe Original BBQ Sauce, then spoon Nomad Chilli Co Salsa Macha over the top for smoky Mexican crunch. Sizzle, sorted.
