Drizzle Ortega Taco Sauce over tacos, burritos, pizza, baked potatoes, salads, eggs.

Just like Mama Ortega, Emilio took great pride in the food he prepared and focused on providing the highest quality peppers to create the very best salsas and chiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 2.38 x 4.02 x 7.61 inches; 1 Pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:
