Since the 1940’s, Rosarita has offered authentic Mexican-style refried beans and become the number one selling brand in the United States. I’ve been a big fan of their no fat refried pinto and black beans for years since both are high in fiber, low in Weight Watchers POINTS and delicious. Needless to say, Rosarita products are a staple at my house.
Rosarita has now added a salsa line of three authentic flavors Mild Salsa Mexicana, Medium Salsa Verde and Hot Salsa Taquera. The new salsas are only be available in four cities — LA, Dallas, Phoenix, and Denver — at select Walmart and grocery stores. (Use ConAgra’s product locator to find a store near you.) In my area, they’re available at Albertson’s, which is a shame because Albertson’s is starting to close most of their Colorado stores. I know Rosarita products are sold at Safeway, so I’m crossing my finger that the salsas will be available soon in their stores.
I’m not much of a hot salsa kind of gal, so I would normally choose their Mild Salsa Mexicana. But I do like a good salsa verde, so that’s what I chose when making some pork soft tacos for lunch today. (Pork and salsa verde are a great combination.)
I took some leftover Christmas pork loin roast, diced it up and heated it up in a pan with some salsa verde while I warmed up a few corn tortillas. After placing the pork in the tortillas, I added cherry tomatoes, cilantro, avocado slices and a bit more Rosarita Salsa Verde – yum! You could do something similar with leftover turkey, chicken, beef or even scrambled eggs or stir fried tofu.
The nice thing about Rosarita salsas are that they jazz up a plain meal and are very low in calories. If you’re doing Weight Watchers, salsa has ZERO POINTS. And they’re perfect with chips for your Super Bowl party, too!
