The Mexican-style entrées, made with fresh and traditional ingredients, have no artificial flavors or preservatives. These ready-to-eat meals can be enjoyed as they are or as part of any dish, providing convenience and versatility in meal preparation. The line features two tasty varieties: Chicken Shredded in Mild Chipotle Sauce, infused with tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chipotle peppers, and Carnitas Slow Cooked Pork, slow-cooked for maximum flavor and marinated with garlic and citrus.
