Not your usual pimento cheese dip...at all. (But it’s inspired by it.) I love everything Mexican and have just about every Mexican herb, spice and pepper in existence. So yeah, this is a tad spicy but very tasty.

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
