Rufus Teague - Tres Chiles BBQ Sauce

Tres Chiles BBQ Sauce from Rufus Teague

The "Tres Chiles Pica Dulce" Latino BBQ Sauce by Rufus Teague captivates with its spicy lime aroma, while simultaneously gaining a special heat from Chipotle Arbol and smoked Hatch Chilis. This versatile sauce is excellent as an accompaniment to grilled or slow-cooked meat as well as tacos, nachos, and various vegetables. For its preparation, tomatoes, brown sugar, garlic, and a variety of other spices, along with lemon juice, raisin paste, and lime oil, are processed into a flavorful base.

The Latino BBQ style originates from Latin America and the Caribbean and is gaining increasing popularity. Indigenous peoples of Latin America, such as the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas, celebrated the grilling of meat over open fires long before the arrival of Europeans. These techniques were further developed by Spanish, Portuguese, and later African immigrants, enriched with new ingredients and spices.

Some well-known dishes from Latino BBQ include Argentine Asado, Colombian Churrasco, Mexican Barbacoa, and Caribbean Jerk Chicken. These dishes are popular not only for their delicious taste but also for their convivial atmosphere and cultural heritage, which make grilling an integral part of Latin American lifestyle.

The team at American Heritage loves grilling and BBQ of all kinds and is very excited about these summery sauces and the next BBQ with Caribbean flair!
