 Frita a Caballo with El Havanero Cuban Hot Sauce

In the wide world of Cuban cuisine, the Frita a Caballo stands out as a popular and delectable choice. This tasty hamburger, topped with shoestring fries and a fried egg - hence the name "a Caballo" which means "on horseback" - is a beloved fast-food delicacy in Cuba. The addition of our El Havanero hot sauce from Bárbaro Mojo takes this dish to a new level of deliciousness.

Bárbaro Mojo's El Havanero Cuban hot sauce is a fiery blend of habanero peppers, tomatoes, sweet onion, red bell pepper, garlic salt, and Cuban spices. It's a symphony of flavor that lends itself perfectly to the rich, hearty Frita a Caballo. The heat from the habanero peppers cuts through the richness of the fried egg and the savory hamburger, providing a pleasing contrast and a mouth-watering complexity.

Creating a spicy Frita a Caballo with El Havanero Cuban hot sauce is simple. Begin by preparing your hamburger patties, cooking them to your preference. While the patties are sizzling, fry up some thin, shoestring fries until they're golden and crispy. Once the patties are cooked, place them on a bun, top with the shoestring fries, and finally, add a fried egg on top.

The final touch? A generous drizzle of El Havanero hot sauce to bring that Cuban heat. As the hot sauce mixes with the yolk of the egg and the juices from the burger, it creates a tasty sauce that elevates each bite.

This spicy take on the Frita a Caballo is a celebration of Cuban cuisine, blending traditional elements with the punchy heat of our El Havanero hot sauce.
