It can be used in lots of ways. Anything you want to add a little spice to. I like it in anything from eggs to marinades, soups, roasts, etc.

Oh my, the burritos were fantastic. Pork melts your mouth, layered with borracho black beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. They were monsters!
