Easiest Burrito Night

Bonus: this recipe will make enough filling to feed a family of 4 for 3-4 burrito nights! Freeze in portions for later use.

Wednesday night is burrito night! We aren't ones to meal prep, but I LOVE the consistency of Wednesday night Burrito Night. The fact that this easy prep can last almost all month is just so cool. 

Taco Enhancer is our rising star. It's now becoming super popular in pantries across Canada and we couldn't be more thrilled to see it get such recognition. It's intense, with a medium heat and pure bold taco flavour - we know you'll love it.

The 'assembly' ingredients and instructions are just what we use, but design your own based on your own personal preferences. This is your burrito night, it should be exactly how you want it. The only recommendation I have is to not overfill your burritos as it will get harder to roll up and was bladder out when cooking. It's tempt, we know. But better to make two if you're really hungry! 😄

I can confirm the quality of this recipe, as I had the very great fortune of having it prepared for me at Big Cove by Sarah herself!

I guarantee that the use of a panini press definitely amps up not only the crispy crunchityness of the outer tortilla, but also the presentation. You’ll look like you’re a 4 star burrito expert, and the taste will match.
Food always tastes better when it looks this great.

I don’t know what the cost of a panini press is, but I bet once you see the results, it’ll be worth it.

Quick note: If I had written this recipe, or edited it; Ghost Taco isn’t optional, Taco Enhancer is the optional ingredient. Used as a backup for children or people averse to some heat. Trust Dave; it’s very well balanced and not designed to make you sweat just for the fun of a novelty.

Make this meal yours tonight!

I wasn't sure what to do with this...

I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Ghost Taco spice blend
Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
