Bold, smoky and spicy flavor with a savory finish; crumbles to a coarse, crumbly texture that browns easily, making it suited for tacos, breakfast scrambles, burritos, nachos and casseroles. Reviewers commonly note robust seasoning, quick cook time and versatility, though some report variability in heat and texture between batches occasionally.
