What do you do when you want Mexican food but it's too damn hot to go out. You grab some Marble Ridge Farms flank steak, Mexican rice and the old reliable El Bandido Combo Loot N' B***y BBQ El Jefe Grande and Your Behind BBQ Bacon Green Chile rub. Mix it all together and end up with a Mexican stir fry. Flavor bomb city!

Get these products and so much more from the Iowa BBQ Store in person or online.
