How to Use Sonoran Spices for Grilling

Sonoran-inspired grilling is all about bold flavor, high heat, and a good char. Timoteo’s Sonoran-inspired spice blends make it easy to add Southwestern character to steak, carne asada, chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetables.

For grilling, season your food evenly before it hits the grill and cook over high heat until you develop a flavorful char. Start with a moderate amount of seasoning and add more to taste.

Our Sonoran-inspired flavors are designed to complement the food rather than overpower it—making them easy to use for backyard grilling, carne asada, tacos, and everyday meals.

Sonoran spices are an easy way to add bold Southwestern flavor to grilled foods. Use Timoteo’s Sonoran spice rubs as a dry rub before grilling, sprinkle them directly onto food, or combine them with oil, citrus, or other ingredients to create a flavorful marinade. Adjust the amount to your preferred level of flavor and heat.

​

Beef & Steak

Season steaks, tri-tip, carne asada, brisket, and other beef cuts before grilling. Bold chili-based rubs pair especially well with grilled beef and help create a flavorful crust.

​

Chicken

Coat chicken breasts, thighs, wings, drumsticks, or whole chicken with a Sonoran spice rub before grilling. For extra flavor, combine the seasoning with citrus juice and a little oil for a simple marinade.

​

Pork

Use Southwestern spice rubs on pork chops, tenderloin, ribs, pork shoulder, and pulled pork. Sweet, smoky, and chile-forward seasonings work especially well with grilled pork.

​

Seafood

Season shrimp, salmon, white fish, scallops, and other seafood lightly before grilling. Citrus-forward and chile-based seasonings complement seafood without overpowering its natural flavor.

​

Vegetables

Sprinkle Sonoran spices over corn, peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, potatoes, and other vegetables before grilling. Toss vegetables with a little oil first to help the seasoning adhere.

​

Burgers

Mix seasoning directly into ground beef or sprinkle it onto burger patties before grilling. Southwestern spices can add depth to beef, turkey, chicken, and veggie burgers.

​

Grilled Corn & Elote

Add Sonoran seasoning to grilled corn for a Southwestern twist. Use it on traditional grilled corn or combine it with Mexican-style toppings for an easy elote-inspired side dish.

​

Marinades & Dry Rubs

For a dry rub, coat meat or vegetables evenly with seasoning before grilling and allow the flavors to absorb before cooking. For a marinade, combine your favorite Sonoran seasoning with oil, citrus juice, or another flavorful liquid and marinate before grilling.

​

How Much Seasoning Should You Use?

Start with a light, even coating and add more according to your taste. For larger cuts of meat, apply enough seasoning to cover the surface evenly without creating an overly thick layer.
