When it comes to food, I would have to say that I LOVE Mexican food. I love tacos, tamales burritos, enchiladas, etc. Although I love making my own Mexican style meals at home, I can never get mine to taste authentic, well at least in my opinion.
I recently received a variety of the Del Real Foods products to try and I am really loving the products. Not only do I think they taste awesome, they are easy to use to make meals with. Del Real Foods makes these pre-packaged meats that makes making a taco or burrito really easy to eat. You can heat these in the microwave, then serve in a warm tortilla with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa and whatever else that you like to add.
We received the Carnitas, Chile Verde and Pollo Asado. I am a huge fan of carnitas tacos so my favorite would have to be the Del Real Carnitas but I enjoyed all three varieties.
In my shipment I also received some Cheese & Bell Pepper Pupusas. When I opened the box and seen these I was intrigued as I had never heard of a pupusa and was curious. It definitely was something I wanted to try.
The pupusas are made with thick corn tortillas with a combination of cheese and mild green chilies and heated up with a skillet. With this dish you traditionally top it with curtido, but I ate them with salsa and sour cream. I think if I eat them again, I am going to try them with some homemade guacamole.
The other items I received where some beef tamales and salsa. I LOVE LOVE LOVE tamales so these were one of the first things I tried. When we go out to eat to a Mexican restaurant, I will normally order a combination meal that has a tamale. At home I love being able just to unwrap the cornhusk from a tamale, heat it up in the microwave and have it ready in less than a minute. Del Real Foods wraps their tamales in cornhusks to preserve the flavor and texture of the masa. The beef is seasoned with a yummy red sauce and are delicious with the Del Real Salsa.
I enjoyed all the products I received from Del Real Foods and I can’t wait to try the products that I didn’t get a chance to review. They allow me to create meals at home for the family that taste authentic without much effort. I haven’t seen these products at the normal grocery store I shop at, but I have been keeping my eye out. I want more of the tamales!
