Even the scorching summer heat is no match for these spicy recipes. Now you’ll really have a reason to say you’re burning up! But if you prefer your spicy foods a little more on the mild side, feel free to clone the recipes and make your own mild version of each one. Just remember to share them with us :)!

Let’s start off with IFoundHappy’s Spicy Hummus. This hummus recipe is so good, it has its own fan club! IFoundHappy says she gets rave reviews for this nutritious and tasty dip with a kick.

You’ll never look at meatloaf the same after you try Carla’s Tex-Mex Chili Cheese Meatloaf. This past holiday season she enjoyed it with her family; the only suggestion she makes is to add a bit more chili. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like, just be sure to try it!

The SkinnyGourmet’s Almond Crusted Shrimp Tacos with Raspberry Pico de Gallo and Spicy Lime Mayo are what you’ll want to make when you’re pressed for time. Make these tacos in about 20 minutes, she promises!

So why are we featuring an ice cream shake recipe by Aliwicious in this post if we’re talking about spicy food? Don’t worry, there isn’t any chili hidden in this dessert. After you’ve tried these recipes, you’ll need something to cool you down. Believe it or not, dairy products are known for calming the burning sensation that kicks in after ingesting one too many spicy foods :)!
