Yes We Mexi-Can Rub & Seasoning by Wayward Gourmet - Mexican, Taco & Fajita Spice Blend

So we had a graduation party and while prepping the menu, i came across this rub. It had good reviews so I thought, why not give it a try. Meat of choice was chuck roast from actual butcher, not store bought. I washed the meat, rubbed kosher salt on it and let it sit in fridge for 2 hours, i then pulled the meat out of the fridge and rubbed this seasoning generously on the meat, wrapped it in saran wrap and let it sit for 36 hours. Day of party i pulled the meat out, got the smoker ready at 210 F(big steel keg, no longer made but awesome smoker) and put meat in about 50 degrees at that point(not room temp but running short of time) I let cook until internal temp was at 160, about 4 hours. At that point, I wrapped it in tin foil and turned the heat up slightly to 230. after 6 hours it was now at an internal temp of 190, party was getting close so i turned it up to 285 to finish the cook. Pulled meat at 195 and placed in cooler with towels for about an hour. Pulled meat and served. I mentioned the way i did this because this was by far the best smoke i have done. The rub was just about perfect. I like things spicy so it is hard for me, at times, not to serve food too spicy for the guest. Not one complaint but tons of compliments. I used about half a jar on 2 3.5 lb chucks.

Living in a 7th floor condo, I don’t have a grill or smoker. A real good rack from my favorite joint costs abt $65, once you throw in UberEats/Door Dash, tips, etc. Love it! But not often.So what if I tried to bake some with sauce and a spice rub. Saw good recommendations online for this Applewood Awesome Smoked BBQ rub, Stubbs Liquid Smoke, & Stubbs BBQ sauce. Seasoned a rack of baby backs with rub, sauce with a few drops liquid smoke, and refrigerated overnight. Let sit on counter for 2 hours, wrapped tight in foil. Baked at 250 for 2 hrs, loosened foil & flipped. Cooked 1 hour at 350, basting with sauce & let cool for 30 mins. You could broil for 5 mins for a little crunch. Much better than I expected! The whole 7th floor hallway smelled so good. Not flavor like pros produce with hardwood smoker overnight of course, but really good. And much cheaper!

I use this item it enhance any of my rubs. Adds a little sweetness to the flavor. I highly recommend this product!

I'm getting ready to but a third jar. Very easy to season your pasta gravy (sauce) with these spices. I use a full tablespoon and I am set. Great flavor. There is no salt which is GREAT. You get the Italian flavor you are looking for then because there is no salt you can dial that in the way you like. A little pricy but makes my Sunday easy and is delicious. A+

I am not someone who allocates a lot of time for cooking. I have a busy schedule and other things that take up the majority of my time. As a result of that, I'm very far from being anything remotely resembling a professional cook. With that being said, these rubs make my meals taste like professionally, creatively and thoughtfully prepared dishes! I love how easy it is to add a good rub and instantly have a meal that is bursting with flavor. This one from Wayward Gourmet, "Applewood Smoked BBQ Awesomeness," is one such example. It added some nice pizzazz to a BBQ chicken dish I made recently, and my wife used it to make some amazing beans. She told me the recipe was a secret, but the one ingredient she did disclose was this new rub we purchased.I love the variety that Wayward Gourmet offers. Aside from this one, we have also tried Steak Your Claim, Sweet Heat, Hey Jerk, and my personal favorite, Maple Chipotle Mashup, which really jazzed up my standard BBQ chicken recipe. I would highly recommend these rubs to anyone, but most specifically, I would really recommend them to people like myself who don't have a lot of time on their hands but would like to still enjoy interesting and delicious meals, without having to rack your brain to figure out what mixture of spices will compliment your dish. Wayward Gourmet makes it easy!

This spice is delicious on pork!

It's delicious but getting pricey

This is another winner from Wayward Gourmet. I don't generally allocate a lot of time in my day for cooking or being creative with meal preparation, which is one way of saying I'm not a very inspired cook. However, these rubs make it taste like I really know what I'm doing, and moreover, like I love to cook. The blends are thoughtful and versatile. So far I have used Steak Your Claim on steak and hamburgers, both to delicious effect that the whole family was impressed by. I love how easy it is to add one of these rubs for instant flavor that stands out and excites the taste buds.We have tried several of Wayward Gourmet's rubs and have found great uses for all of them. Others I would recommend include Applewood Smoked BBQ Awesomeness, Sweet Heat, Hey Jerk and Maple Chipotle Mashup. While I would highly recommend these rubs to anyone that enjoys tasty food, I would especially recommend them to folks like myself who don't have the time, patience or experience to get creative in the kitchen. This is a huge (and delicious) time saver!
