Cholula® is well known as the wooden-capped hot sauce that is commonly seen at restaurants and on grocery store shelves, and they offer several variations on their original recipe. But now the company that calls itself the “No. 1 Mexican Hot Sauce in the World” is expanding its line to include salsa and seasonings. They have added three different salsas and three types of seasonings to their product line and you should be able to find these at your local grocer.  The salsas are also available on Amazon.com.

Original Salsa: From tortilla chips to tacos, Cholula Original Salsa is the perfect dip or topper to add that balance of flavor and heat that makes every dish delicioso! Like our Original Hot Sauce, this salsa offers medium heat that’s ideal for family dinners, Taco Tuesdays, brunch and dinner parties.

Salsa Verde: Cholula Salsa Verde is crafted with fresh tomatillos, onions, jalapeños and poblano peppers for better-tasting authentic Mexican flavor. This green salsa has mild heat and tangy flavor that’s perfect for all types of Mexican foods, from tacos and tostadas to burritos, enchiladas and nachos.

Smoky Chipotle Salsa: Cholula Smoky Chipotle Salsa brings a bold and spicy blend of authentic flavors from the heart of Mexico. We start with fresh tomatoes and tomatillos, then fire-roast the tomatoes and combine with chipotle peppers for a salsa that has smoky flavor and a healthy kick of heat.

Original Recipe Mix: Bring the bold, balanced flavor of Cholula to taco night with an authentic blend of peppers and signature spices.

Smoky Chipotle Recipe Mix: A unique blend of smoky chipotle peppers along with the signature spices of Cholula Hot Sauce to add rich, bold flavor to taco night.

Chili Garlic Recipe Mix: A robust blend of garlic, arbol and piquin peppers, and the signature spices of Cholula® Hot Sauce to liven up taco night.

Meanwhile, on the snack front, Cheetos is kicking things up again. Their Flamin’ Hot variety is widely available (though I have to admit I am not a fan of those), but they are taking it to the next level with the Flamin’ Hot Smoky Ghost Pepper Puffs. These are the puffs variety vs. the standard Cheetos and they are shaped like chili peppers. The Ghost Pepper is the main chili spicing these up, and they bring some smokiness as well. These will be available exclusively at Walmart and will only be around for the Summer months.
