Description
In the great state of Texas youâll find spicy barbecue sauce, often enhanced with fresh hot peppers. This particular sauce gets its kick from a chopped serrano pepper and is definitely not for the faint of heart. You may want to have a cold drink nearby. (Feeling timid? Substitute for the serrano a jalapeno or an even milder poblano pepper.)
