So my husband is actually of Venezuelan decent. Although born here in the states, he has Hispanic blood running through his body. It is actually quite funny because he does not look or act Hispanic at all. The only resemblance he has to being Hispanic is his love for Hispanic food. He absolutely adores everything from Venezuelan to Cuban to Peruvian food. There are just so many different cultures involved that he absolutely loves all the different flavors and way to prepare things.
Well, with that being said, since he is Venezuelan, his favorite treat to enjoy (and I mean, he could eat it every single day), is arepas. They are basically corn cakes made with ground cornmeal. It is something that is somewhat like a salty, corn like looking biscuit. Venezuelans eat one with almost every meal, but they eat it alone or with a few toppings for breakfast. My husband’s favorite is with ham and cheese or maybe black beans and feta cheese. There are also other options like chicken salad and avocado. However, it does not matter how he is eating this little sandwich, his favorite way is with a drizzle of this chili lime sauce. He says it gives the arepas the perfect flavor and a bit of creaminess.

I have to agree with my husband, this makes just about any sandwich, from arepas to paninis, the best. It gives a depth of flavor that is not there without it and the creaminess is a nice touch, almost like a little spread of mayo, but with more taste. It is something we absolutely love and cannot get enough of, no matter what! We make this in triple batches and then store in a ketchup bottle for easy pour next time. So good!
Check out what our friends over at Lady Behind The Curtain had to say about this:
“Add another layer of flavor with this chili lime taco sauce. Tangy from the lime and spicy from the chili sauce. The perfect complement to BEER BATTER FISH TACOS.”
Or arepas, or sandwiches, or pasta, or chicken tenders… you get my drift.
