Grilled Shrimp Sopes and Cholula Hot Sauce

A very nice lady named Chloe sent this cute little 4-pack of Cholula Hot Sauce samples for me to try.
(Thanks again Chloe!)
I love Cholula and have been using the Original and Chili Lime sauces, they are my absolute favorite hot sauces.... but I was not aware that Cholula also makes Chipotle and Chili Garlic!

I couldn't wait to give them the taste test.....



Chipolte, Chili Garlic, Original and Chili Lime...



I grilled a few shrimp the night before and saved some for the taste test.



I fried up a few sopes...





Topped them with a black bean, corn, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper mixture..



Placed one grilled shrimp on each, added a dab of sour cream and a sprinkle of Asadero cheese..



Gave a nice dash or two of each Cholula Sauce on a different sope..



Then gave them the taste test....



They were great! I used to think that the Original and Chili Lime Cholula were my favorite but now I love the Chipotle and Chili Garlic too!!

So, I couldn't pick just one as a favorite.... I loved them all. My local store does not carry the Chipotle and the Chili Garlic, but I plan on requesting that they do. I'm hooked on the stuff. :)
Thank you again Chloe! I plan on checking out the recipes on the Cholula site too.

The Cholula seasoning I was using on chicken was dry like a rub. Don
