Hi I’m Mikey,

I founded and created Burns Canyon Spice Co’s - Vaquero. I hand-make every small batch myself. I jar it, label it, and ship it straight to you. There’s no one else handling any aspect of this uniquely different flavor profile that many of you already know, love, and support. For those of you who don’t already know and love Vaquero, I want you to know that I truly value and appreciate your support!

It all started in early 2019 while celebrating a good friend’s birthday in Mexico. I fell in love with this everyday table sauce, and like that, I was hooked! Shortly after returning home, I started playing with different recipe variations. Unknowingly, at the time, I began what became a two-year test kitchen recipe journey and evolution of Vaquero! After working through 26 different small-batch recipe variations, I’m proud to share Vaquero’s unique quality and flavor profile you know today.

Ingredients are important! That’s why I use avocado oil, fresh garlic, umami salt, black pepper, and my blend of three chile moritas I’ve discovered.

My goal with Vaquero is to continue providing you with an everyday table sauce you can enjoy with nearly every meal you can imagine creatively.

This isn’t just a hot sauce. It’s an ingredient!
