2 tbsp feta brine

Directions
Cook your quinoa by following the instructions on the package. We toasted our quinoa for a minute in oil on medium heat and then added 4 cups of water. Boiled and simmered for about 15-20 or until water absorbed and quinoa fully cooked. Adding 2 tablespoons of our Mary Had a Lot of Lamb spice blend to the pot while it cooks.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the quinoa to cool more evenly.
In a large bowl; add the cooled quinoa with the remaining ingredients and toss thoroughly. Taste it and add more salt (or feta brine) or more lemon if you think necessary.
Enjoy!

Let customers speak for us
from 177 reviewsMy 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!
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
Egyptian Summer spice blend
Amazing! I put this on everything. It brings everything to the next level.
I love the ability to try so many flavours. Nicely packaged and reseal flawlessly so they keep the freshness.
This Taco Duo is amazing. Great taste.

Love this! I add it to yogurt! Texture and flavor is fantastic!
I am a chef and I ordered these last summer for BBQ season they were awesome! Will certainly re order soon! I would recommend these spices to anyone that is looking to take their BBQ reciepes to the next level.
This was amazing, I’ve already made the chickpea salad 4 times!!! I also made it for a few other people to try and they all loved it as well and asked where it was from!
My favourite spice blend. Delicious on any/all meat!
I traveled to Ontario for Christmas (2023) and brought Pouches of Big Cove Pick your Own Five. It was a big hit several years ago when I did it. Great feedback from everyone back then and everyone was very happy to recieve them again. The blends and recipes are great.
Had to order them all so we could try the ones we haven’t yet!
I purchased the Taco Enhancer product and first tried it when making some ground beef for my tacos. I tried the meat just using the taco spice and it did well just being on its own. It provided a reasonable amount of heat to the meat that wasn't overpowering but was noticeable. As I ate more of the meat with the spice I felt the heat of the product increase which was nice. If you don't like hot stuff, this is a good product to get you started to feel a little heat that is reasonable. If you like hot stuff, this probably won't do it for you but it does provide a small kick. It paired well with the ground beef as the meat really soaked up the spice.
We used this spice on a salad as it said it contained mango. While we typically start away from anything Porcine, this one is a must but. The museum and garlic mixed with the mango gives it a unique flavour that we didn't even realize we were missing from our cupboard until we tried it!
