Once again I was selected to test a product from CrowdTap. This time I got four bottles of Taco Bell sauces, you know, the same sauces we all sneak into our bags whenever we eat at Taco Bell. Well, they now come in full size bottles to take home thanks to Kraft!
I was supposed to have a party for the Super Bowl to help share the yum and since my in laws were having a combined Super Bowl and birthday party for my hubby it was perfect. Perfect until we have been in an area gripped by the Polar Vortex. My girls had started getting sore throats and fevers so I stayed home with them. After all part of the party was for my hubby and it is his family. Don't worry we tried the sauces before he took them to the party.
Here are the sauces I got to try!
Since I was with my daughters what better food to try these with than tacos.
You can never go wrong with tacos. Note the Salsa Verde sauce is not pictured. I had a friend that reeeaallly wanted it and so I gave it to her. (She forgot to take pictures for me of the recipe she used it with).
This is my Ava. Bless her heart, she's the only hard shell eater in the family.
She chose Taco Bell Mild Sauce. (See it dripping down her face?) She liked it and it didn't get too spicy until she was almost finished the taco. Then again that could also be due to the taco seasoning.
This is my Katherine. My daredevil, the one out to prove you wrong, hard headed..... I talked her down from the Taco Bell Fire Sauce but she "can totally handle hot sauce. I ate all those Mighty Wings at McDonalds). So I sat back and let her have a go.
Note: She doesn't like lettuce on her tacos. She's so weird.
Taco Bell Hot Sauce is still a little out of her league. (I guess I shouldn't have been laughing while I took the picture).
As you can see from this picture we are a bunch of light weights and mainly stuck to the mild. It is true to the flavor pouches at the restaurant. With this in mind I plan on trying it on chicken fajitas next! We loved it.
---------------------------At the Party-----------------------------------------------
I do not have pictures from the party but they did use more of the hot sauce and my spicy crazed father in law tried the fire on his wings.
From what I heard they also enjoyed them. It gave the desired spice without the odd after taste that other brands give you. My mother in law asked where she could find them. (they should be popping up in stores all over by now). I told Justin aka hubby, to let them keep the hot and fire sauces. Mild got pretty used up in one day so if you have a large family or are getting it for a party you may want to buy two bottles.
Again - I got these items from Crowdtap to give my opinion of. No other compensation was awarded. These are all my personal, and families, personal feelings in regards to these sauces.
