Lime Hot Sauces

Bright, zesty and endlessly useful. Lime’s acidity lifts a pepper’s flavor and cuts through rich food, which is why it’s in more of our sauces than any other citrus.

Lime works at every heat level: the sauces here run from mild to extra hot, with medium the biggest group. Habanero is the most common partner, followed by jalapeño and serrano, and many add cilantro, garlic and onion for a salsa-like taste. Reach for them on tacos, eggs, burritos, nachos, chicken and fish.
