Packed with a complex blend of aromatic vegetables, dried chilies, and authentic spices in a concentrated tomato base. Use as your "sophisticated shortcut" sauce for soups and stews, skillet simmer sauce, gourmet Latin-inspired flavor base for your kitchen creations, and so much more!
Latin flavors are a fusion of the bold flavors of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Brazil, the clean and bright cuisine of Costa Rica, and, definitely, the sassy sazon of the Dominican Republic. (Even the smoky, nuanced spices of Spain across the Atlantic ocean.) This is a thick, rich flavor base that captures the vibrant fusion of tastes from each vibrant Latin cuisine. If you love the mild smokiness of chorizo or Spanish paprika, you'll love this sauce!
Think of Mesa de Vida as an amped-up, complex sofrito starter! Use for your braised protein for tacos, or one-skillet protein & rice dishes, or to add incredible flavor to your simplest slow cooker creation, and more!
Goes great with pork, chicken, beef, seafood, rice, vegetables, and beans, and more.
Made with just vegetables, fruit, spices and herbs, perfectly blended and waiting to bring life to your table!
Add salt to your own tastes and health needs.
Spice level: very mild. *Goes great with your favorite hot sauce, or extra jalapenos if you like it spicy!
