Hot Stuff! Habanero Hot Wings!! Tacos & Tequila!

Tacos & Tequila (T&T) has introduced its newest menu item, a mouthwatering dish that is sure to bring on the heat. The habañero hot wings will tantalize the taste buds with a spicy blend of habañero peppers fused with tangy lime juice for a zesty new summer recipe, available for $10 throughout the summer at T&T.

“Habañeros are one of the spiciest peppers, so we added a few key ingredients to counterbalance the heat,” said Executive Chef Saul Ortiz. “The overall flavor is a zesty blend of tangy, spicy and sweet.”

Habañero Hot Wings recipe:

7 jumbo chicken wings (1 pound)

1 oz. habañero sauce

1 oz. buffalo sauce

1 oz. hot sauce

2 tbs. butter

1 oz. cotija cheese

2 oz. ranch dressing

1 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

Using a deep fryer set to 350 degrees, cook the chicken wings for 5 minutes. Transfer the wings to a pre-heated conventional oven and cook at 350 degrees for an additional 3 minutes, or until crispy. On a stovetop, combine sauces and butter in a pan and fuse together over low heat for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, combine sauce and wings and coat heavily.

In a separate bowl, muddle the cilantro and add ranch dressing, mixing evenly. Top wings with cotija cheese and serve with a side of creamy cilantro ranch.

Tacos & Tequila embodies the cool modernism of the new Mexico City while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and high-end Las Vegas panache. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark wood, leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons. Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch across the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.

The highly-stylized Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, high-energy vibe and flavorful menu is located at Luxor Hotel and Casino, open daily from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. The 8,000-square-foot venue embodies Mexican culture intermixed with rock-n-roll flair with a flavorful menu created for Drive This Entertainment! by the talents of world-renowned restaurateur and chef, Richard Sandoval.
