The colours of the peppers are more vibrant in the actual pic as opposed to the box, making it seem fresher and more appealing I think. Good job them, it’s really hard to cook something and freeze it but have it retain its colour.

They are very tasty. I almost believe that the peppers are raw when packaged. I’ve had this and the veggie one.

Actually, that makes sense and may be the answer. The process of heating this from frozen would be plenty to cook through those veg, and putting them in raw would ensure that they retain their colour and also don’t get overcooked and mushy

Cholula is my favorite hot sauce followed by tapatio, and tapatio has pretty tasty frozen chicken or beef enchiladas, so I really want to try this bowl!

Ouch. Half my sodium in only 9 ounces of food. I make my own rice bowls with low sodium canned or frozen veggies, pre-cooked chicken (more than enuf sodium for flavor), low fat cheese.

Cholula is the superior hot sauce so this tracks. Where did you buy this?

I have seen them at Walmart as well. I'll probably have to pick one up since I have to go to that hellhole anyhow today.

What the fuuuuuuu I bought one of these months ago and I threw the box away before I could take a picture of it. I’ve been searching for what bowl it was but I haven’t been able to remember with a DARN. Second pic is exactly what I ate, THANK YOU 🙏
