Omar Apollo said: “Everyone’s family has that one recipe they believe is worth sharing with the rest of the world. For me, it’s Disha Hot Hot Sauce.

“It’s not just about the flavours that take me back to my childhood, but about honouring my heritage and the countless sacrifices my parents made for me to pursue my passions.

“Bringing Disha Hot Hot Sauce to the world has always been my dream and I’m grateful to partner with Taco Bell to celebrate the flavours that make us who we are and create new memories with the people we love.”

Disha Hot Sauce is a speciality concoction that combines roasted tomatillos, white vinegar, peppers, onions, tomatoes, lime juice and a secret spice mix passed down through Omar Apollo’s family.

Taco Bell chief marketing officer Taylor Montgomery said: “Our sauce packets are more than just condiments – they’re a beloved part of the Taco Bell experience.

“When Omar shared the story of his family’s Disha Hot sauce and its unique, personal flavours, we knew this was the kind of meaningful partnership our fans would love.”
