I saw that commercial with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg talking about Guacamole Salsa dip (or whatever). So, I was at the store looking for some Super Bowl dips. I picked up a jar of On The Border Guacamole Salsa thinking that was it. I don't get it. It doesn't taste anything like Guacamole or Salsa. It is a bit spicy. I just don't understand the flavor profile at all. My tongue is telling me this stuff sucks. So, after trying it, I looked up the commercial. It appears the commercial is for the Tostito brand of a similar dip. Now, I'm not sure if it tastes like the On The Border stuff or not. I may have to try to pick up their brand. I honestly don't get it (the dip) and don't understand how it got past the tasting committee. I mean...f*ck! I could make a better version in my sleep! I should have just done that. Geez. I still have no idea what it tastes like. It's weird sh_t. I guess I'll continue to be dumbfounded but I think I'll stick with regular queso for the Super Bowl...assuming On The Border didn't f*ck that up, too (cause I got a jar of that as well). Man oh man. Maybe I should add some of my own flavors to it? It couldn't get any worse imo. lol
I guess I could be in the minority here. I love Guacamole and Salsa separately. I've even combined the two when I made them. But, this is just weird to me and my taste buds aren't taking kindly to it. I'll give it one thing. It's green. I expected it to taste like Guacamole a bit because of that but it just doesn't. I guess everyone has their own cup of tea. I'm sure the Herdez is different than this but I may give it a shot to see if I'm crazy...or you are?
It's made in Dallas. Figures. I could be doing it wrong. It seems to recommend heating it up and I ate it cold from the refrigerator. I'll have to give it another shot I guess. Edit: So, I heated a little of it up in the microwave and tried it again. It's a little better warm but not much. It's still like an acidic, slightly spicy, and sour concoction of nothing resembling guacamole or salsa. I'm not crazy. It is edible, though. I'll give it that. It's tolerable at a very low level.
The Herdez one isn't as bad as the jarred ones placed directly next to the tortilla chips, but these are all just kind of slimy to me.
I have that Tostitos one in my fridge. It looks like the green gelatin salad they had by the checkout at Lubys. Tasted like wolf p***y.
Any recipes to use up Herdez guac salsa? Was dumb and got a 3 pack at Costco since it was on sale, but doesn't seem to make a good dip with tortilla chips, too watery.
No idea, but just in case you're getting nostalgic: If you can't get green tomatoes just use extra tomatillos. I sub serranos for jalapenos and mexican crema for sour cream (I add it a bit at a time until I get the consistency I want). You can roast the veggies instead of boiling for a little different flavor.
They started in Dallas and their headquarters are there, so ... yeah. I've tried some guacamole salsas before, but ... eh. I don't know. Oddly enough, I bought some On the Border hot salsa today with my Walmart pickup order.
Can I have a milkshake or something? Guacamole and Salsa has kind of grown on me but I still don’t know what it tastes like. If the unopened On The Border jalapeño and cheese dip tastes like I don’t expect it to, then you can rest assure I will be back with my complaint tomorrow! Dips are a strange thing when made to cater to psycho taste buds.
The most irritating thing about avocado salsa is the way Martha Stewart says "avocado" on those commercials. lol.
