Recipes Featuring Product

INSTANT POT TACO CHICKEN

Taco night, simplified.

Make a big batch of this Taco Chicken, pull together all your fixings while the Instant Pot is doing its thing, and you'll be ready to go. 

My favorite toppings to use are pico de gallo, my simple guacamole, my marinated onions, lots of crunchy lettuce, and shredded cheese of course!

(If you have leftovers, try a batch of my TEX MEX Chicken Soup!)

TEX MEX CHICKEN SOUP

This TEX MEX Chicken Soup is so simple to throw together (only 10 mins of prep!), it will quickly become your new favorite soup recipe.

It's especially delicious if you have leftover Taco Chicken, though you can absolutely use any pre-cooked chicken you have on hand.

MEXICAN CHICKEN & AVOCADO SOUP

This Mexican Chicken & Avocado Soup is a perfect answer to the chilly fall nights and comes together very quickly using chicken you’ve already cooked.

Featuring Balanced Bites TEX MEX spice blend, this soup is easy to make and full of flavor.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER HUMMUS

This twist on the traditional Mediterranean favorite tastes almost exactly the same as the chickpea (garbanzo bean) variety. If you're looking for new lunch ideas (for yourself or the kiddos) I highly recommend adding this to your recipe rotation! 

Try serving this with some sliced chicken for dipping as well – so delicious!

Featuring our Balanced Bites TEX MEX spice blend, this hummus is easy to make and full of flavor.

THE BEST ROAST CHICKEN

I think we could all benefit from a little comfort right now, and I can't think of anything more comforting than a homemade roast chicken. In this recipe for the best roast chicken, I like to use SAVORY, GREEK, or TEX MEX spice blends, but really any of my Balanced Bites Spices will work here.

EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Once you have the chicken and sauce made for these enchiladas, they come together really quickly and can be an easy weeknight meal or a make-ahead/meal-prep meal to enjoy during the week. You can also make the chicken and sauce ahead of time to assemble these later, or use any pre-cooked and shredded chicken you like, or make an easy salsa chicken to use, too. We use our TACO & FAJITA and TEX MEX Spice Blends, so this recipe is bursting with flavor!
I highly recommend doubling either this entire recipe, or at least the chicken so that you have plenty on-hand for other meals - protein prep for the win!

POLLO ASADO

This simple Pollo Asado recipe is my version of the traditional Mexican / Cuban slow-cooked chicken dish, marinated in lots of lime & orange juice, & seasoned with spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and chili powder.

What I love about this recipe is how versatile it is – I've served it here with my Confetti Cauli Rice, though it would also be delicious in a taco using organic corn tortillas or as a protein on a taco salad, with rice & beans, or with sautéed plantains.

Featuring Balanced Bites TACO & FAJITA and TEX MEX spice blends, this simple and full of flavor.

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

Did you know that Italian Wedding Soup has nothing to do with weddings? Funny, right?

It has to do with how the ingredients “marry” together – mini meatballs with the most flavorful broth packed with veggies, and hit with a citrus punch at the end. It's the perfect soup for a chilly day!

I like to serve mine with crusty bread and lots of parmesan grated on top – yum!

Featuring Balanced Bites ITALIAN and TEX MEX spice blends, this soup is easy to make and full of flavor.

SALSA VERDE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

Check out this super simple Paleo Salsa Verde Slow Cooker Chicken recipe, using our TEX MEX spice blend. I have used this recipe to create many meals, especially as a protein on taco salads or tacos using organic corn tortillas.

You can see some of the ways I've enjoyed it below – as posted on Instagram many times!

If you make this recipe, be sure to tag me in your photo posts about it, I can't wait to hear how you like it!

Such a versatile blend

Outside the obvious foods, I like to add this to veggies, eggs, chicken, salmon, and so much more. I turned my brother on to this as well, which is why I ordered quite a few.

This Texan loves this Tex Mex blend. I use it with a bit of the Fajita blend to make my tacos. Chef’s kiss.

Tex mex spice blend

Very good but would prefer a little more heat

Hi Laura- I’m glad you enjoy TEX MEX. Please note that this blend is very specifically made without heat! It’s intended as an earthy vibe, without any pepper spices so that our nightshade-free customers have a great option! I recommend our TACO & FAJITA blend for the heat! We often combine the two for a super flavor party. Cheers! Diane
