Recipe, Food, Mexican, Sauces, Salsas, Gluten-Free, All-Natural, #ShopMexican dishes have become one of my favorite meals. Attempting to make some of these dishes at home has become a new routine, including finding some great sauces!

I was recently introduced to a unique brand of salsa and sauces – 505 Southwestern. These sauces are new to the market and sold at local H-E-B grocery stores (keep a look out)! They range in flavor from mild, medium to hot to meet with every need. More importantly is what’s unique about the products:

EXTRA FRESH – Our chiles are picked, flame-roasted & fresh frozen during harvest.
ALL NATURAL – We use only natural ingredients to preserve the just-picked flavor.
GLUTEN FREE – We use a rice flour as a binder where necessary, not wheat.
ZERO TRANS FAT – Only natural vegetables, spices, herbs and fruits are used.
NEW MEXICO – All our chiles come from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico, the “CHILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!”

With five different options to choose from, you’re bound to find one that you’ll love and they come in great 16 ounce jars.
