Latin Pantry Gift Set

These work as both rubs and simmering seasonings. For meat, pat dry, coat lightly with oil, and apply about 1 tablespoon per pound, resting 20–30 minutes before cooking. For stews, beans, and sauces, stir in early and taste as you go. Each blend has its moment: Birria Blend — chiles and warm spices for braised beef or goat birria, quesabirria tacos, and consomé for dipping. Seven Falls Salsa Blend — stir into canned tomatoes for a quick salsa, or season black beans and roasted corn. Aji Chili Lime Blend — tangy chile-lime for grilled chicken, shrimp, mango, cucumber, and street corn. Taco Seasoning — the everyday blend for ground beef, chicken, and sheet-pan fajitas. Beyond that, dust any of the four over popcorn, fries, or roasted sweet potatoes, whisk into sour cream or crema for a dip, or use it to rim a michelada glass.
