Good sauce for those that are not vegetarian
Mexican is one of my favorite foods and smothering a bean burrito with red sauce and onions is one of my quick, stand-by dinner options.  With such a simple meal, it is imperative to have fresh and tasty ingredients.  I've tried many red sauces and some were quite good.  According to my husband this has been the best sauce.  He says it beats the enchilada sauces he has had in most Mexican restaurants.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I cannot offer my own taste appraisal because this product is not vegetarian.  Frontera makes two red sauces -- one that is in a pouch [[ASIN:B0048IFVCM Frontera Pouch, Enchilada Skillet Red Chile, 8-Ounce (Pack of 6)]]and this product that comes in a jar.  The product in the pouch is vegetarian.  The product in the jar is not.  After examining the ingredients on the pouch, I had made the assumption both products were equal and purchased the jar (because it was a better price) without rechecking the ingredients. The sauce in the jar has chicken in it.  If you are vegetarian, don't purchase the jar option unless it is for family/friends.<br /><br />My husband's rave reviews of this sauce have led me to order [[ASIN:B0048IFVCM Frontera Pouch, Enchilada Skillet Red Chile, 8-Ounce (Pack of 6)]].  My husband says that the product has a rich tomato taste and the roasted garlic inside the sauce complements the sauce well.  The sauce spreads easily and is not thin or tomato paste thick.  The 16 oz. jar was perfect for covering eight burritos (using six inch tortillas).<br /><br />I purchased my Frontera enchilada sauce in the 16 ounce jar from my local co-op for about four and a half dollars.  The price on the vegetarian/pouch version on Amazon is cheaper than my co-ops (which was charging about three dollars for the eight oz. pouch).<br /><br />Ingredients:  Water, Tomato (fresh tomato, tomato juice, calcium chloride, citric acid), roasted tomato, New Mexico Chile Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, Salt, roasted onion, roasted red bell pepper, roasted garlic, sugar, chicken base (cooked chicken and chicken juices, salt, sugar, maltodextrin, chicken fat, dehydrated onions, citric acid, turmeric, natural flavors), vegetable oil, xanthan gum, and spices.<br /><br />Another good place to buy this item is iherb.com.
