CHIPOTLE
Ingredients:
Tomato, white vinegar, white onion, olive oil, lime, chipotle chile, chambray onion, piloncillo, salt, garlic, honey, black pepper
Smoky, warm, and endlessly versatile — chipotle is the soul of Mexican cooking, and this sauce captures everything that makes it iconic. A hint of heat, a depth of smoke, and the kind of complexity that turns a simple weeknight dinner into something you’ll actually crave.
Pairs with: Beef, pork, poultry, mushrooms and roasted veggies. Serve with roasted potatoes, refried beans or rice.
PASTOR
Ingredients:
Freshly squeezed pineapple and orange juice, white vinegar, ancho chile, guajillo chile, annatto seed, salt, garlic, cumin, oregano, clove
Al pastor is the heartbeat of Mexico City street food — and now it’s yours to make at home. A vibrant blend of chiles, spices, and citrus gives this sauce its signature deep red colour and that unmistakable sweet-savoury balance. Taco night just got a serious upgrade.
Pairs with: Pork, poultry, fish, beef and tofu. Serve on tacos with a dash of lime, chopped onion, cilantro and thinly sliced pineapple.
ANNATTO
Ingredients:
Freshly squeezed orange juice, white vinegar, annatto seed, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, allspice, bay leaves
Achiote has been at the heart of Mexican and Mesoamerican cooking for thousands of years — and one taste tells you exactly why. Earthy, floral, and beautifully golden, this marinade turns humble chicken or pork into something that feels like it took all day to make. (It didn’t.)
Pairs with: White meats (chicken and pork), fish and prawns. Serve with rice, pasta or beans.
SPICY PLUM
Ingredients:
Fresch plum, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, ancho chile, white onion, unprocessed brown sugar, garlic, salt, black pepper, all-spice.
Sweet meets heat in the most unexpected way. Ripe plums bring a jammy richness while ancho chiles add a quiet, earthy warmth beneath the surface. It’s the sauce that surprises everyone — the one guests will ask about before the meal is even over.
Pairs with: Fish, shellfish, duck, chicken and lean cuts of beef. Serve with pasta, rice and grilled veggies on the side.
