Taylor could put hot sauce on anything. Sriracha and chili sauce, most definitely, but most of all TABASCO® sauce. On everything, in everything, and lick it off his fingers when he’s done. That’s my spicy boy. So when TABASCO® came knocking with promise of hot-and-happy recipes and a trip to tour the TABASCO® home-base in Louisiana? We decided that Taylor was the right man for the job.

Taylor will be back to share his first bayou experience with you shortly, but for now I thought we’d start with a little warm up. You know, prepare your palettes for the heat to come.

While exploring the full range of the TABASCO® line, we both fell in love with the Habanero sauce. Sweet and wonderfully spicy, the ingredients list mango, banana, and papaya purees, the sweet of the fruit playing perfectly with the painful spice of the habanero peppers. It was pulling directly from those ingredients that we came up with this recipe for mango habanero pot stickers.

The filling features ground chicken (but turkey or pork would work beautifully as well) with chunks of sweet mango and crunchy cabbage, wonton-wrapped and pan-fried and served with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. There’s only two teaspoons of TABASCO® Habanero Sauce in this entire recipe (divided between the filling and the sauce), but being that it is one of Tabasco’s most potent products, a little goes a long way.
