You’ve all heard the saying ?Everything’s bigger in Texas?, right? And, while that may be true, it?s also true that everything is tastier in Texas too! Texas is much more than the country plains and thick accents that most (those who aren?t from the South) think. Texas has a unique culture made of a melting pot of flavors and people who love to eat. I know for me personally, food is near and dear to my heart.? So much, that not only does it has to be good and flavorful, the products I use have to be on point.
Speaking of food, I recently made a ?quick and easy Spicy BBQ Taco Bowl that was a major hit with the family.? This meal was perfect in several ways because not only was it delicious, it took no time to make which means I was able to have extra free time after my work day. Happy Dance!
To pull this recipe off, I made sure I had all the ingredients on hand.? Lucky for me, I had all I needed and more.? Remember I mentioned that my ingredients and products have to be on point.? Well, let me tell you, Texas products don?t disappoint.? I received a box of Texas goodies, courtesy of Ozarka water to celebrate Texas bounty, that was right up my alley.? I grew up on Ozarka water and it?s still one of my favorites today.?The box of goodies not only included Ozarka water but also a few other Texan favorites I couldn’t wait to try.
Here?s a breakdown of the products I received, but keep on reading to see which one?s I used in my recipe!
Ozarka Spring Water – Ozarka water is our favorite because of it’s unique Texas fresh taste, coming from 3 natural springs
Paqui Tortilla Chips – Natural ingredients, unbleached/untreated flour. Referred to as the better for you tortilla. Yum!
Taste Elevated?s Sweet & Spicy Mustard Seeds ? flavor-packed pearls just tender enough to burst in your mouth.? Tasted good on just about anything.
Jelly Queen?s Black Garlic Rosemary BBQ Sauce -handmade in small batches using organic ingredients
Cookwell & Company?s Queso ? cheddar and blue cheeses combined with fire-roasted tomatoes, onions, diced jalape?os, and lime juice.
