Instructions

1

Tex-Mex Marinade In a large bowl, combine 1 packet Tex-Mex paste, 2 TBSP orange juice (mandarin juice is one of our favorites here—you could also use pineapple juice!), and 2 tsp lime juice. Add 10 oz protein (we love shrimp, chicken breast strips, diced steak, or diced pork); toss to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Cook in a large pan over medium-high heat until protein is browned and cooked through and marinade is reduced and lightly charred.

2

Tex-Mex Taco Filling In a large pan, cook 10 oz ground protein (we love beef, pork, turkey, or plant-based protein!) until browned and cooked through. Stir in 1 packet Tex-Mex paste until thoroughly combined. For an additional flavor boost, stir in 1 TBSP Southwest Seasoning. Use in tacos, burritos, or burrito bowls!

3

Tex-Mex Citrus Pan Sauce In a large pan, combine 1 packet Tex-Mex paste, ¼ cup pineapple or orange juice, and a squeeze of lime juice. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter. Spoon over your favorite protein (we especially love it on salmon and barramundi!). Serve with rice and fresh salsa for a quick and easy meal.
