Coat meat or veggies with 1–2 tbsp per pound. Let sit at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Grill, bake, or pan-sear until cooked through and that authentic sear gets its authentic fire finish.
Add a squeeze of lime juice before serving to bring out the flavors.
Add a pinch — literally a pinch — to your chili or pasta sauce. You will feel it, but it will not be unpleasant.
Keep sealed. Do not open near your eyes. Wash hands after handling. Keeps 2+ years.
