We keep the rub on hand in a little mason jar or ziploc bag in our cupboard so that we can throw some meat on the grill at any time. It’s simply a few southwestern spices like cumin, garlic powder, chili powder etc so it’s even good for ground beef or turkey.

The sauce is also easily kept in your fridge for a good two weeks as it’s just lime juice, vinegar (apple cider please) and honey. Oh my goodness, it’s so good. I mean, I’d totally grill up some fruit, or heck even just use fresh fruit and drizzle that yumminess over the top.
