The pack

Chilli Con Carne is a beloved Mexican classic, paying homage to the legendary Chili Queens of San Antonio, who served it in the city's plazas from the late 1800's. This sauce kit combines smoky chipotle and ancho chillies, along with a hint of cocoa, to give your dish a unique depth and a rich, unforgettable flavour. Enjoy in 3 easy steps!

The maker

"I founded Capsicana because I absolutely love the vibrant & fresh flavours of Latin American food. The Capsicana range of kits, seasonings, pastes, sauces, and sides is inspired by dishes of the region, from Mexican Fajitas to Brazilian Curries and Argentinian Steaks drizzled with Chimichurri. I love the many different varieties of chillies that we use, including chipotle, ancho, jalapeno and habanero. Chillies are not just about heat... they're also sweet, earthy, and fruity.
