Pro Tips

  • For added protein, toss in some grilled chicken or chickpeas. For a vegan alternative, try adding grilled tofu or tempeh.

  • If you prefer a milder sauce, start with 1 tablespoon of Angel Hot Sauce and add more as needed.

  • This sauce also works great as a dip or spread for roasted vegetables, tacos, or even burgers.
