Diablo Verde A New Take On Cilantro

Cilantro is one of the key elements and flavors in Mexican and southwest cuisine. Now there's a new sauce that highlights its' flavor ratcheted up with some heat Diablo Verde, This amazing sauce has an amazing story.

It all started with Luke Johannson , the middle son of 3 Son Foods has spent five years of his young life fundraising for the International Rhino Foundation. He used his birthday money, always asking friends and family to donate to this  very worthy cause. He wanted to raise more funds so he sold his mom's creamy cilantro sauce to teachers, friends and neighbors. It was a huge hit. It gained in popularity as the family sold it to local stores and at farmer's markets. It won several awards. Luke and his older brother Ayden, and their younger brother George handle everything , from marketing to packaging. Here's the mind blowing part. Ayden s just seventeen while Luke is fifteen. George is twelve! These young men have the where with all and passion to  make 2 Sons Foods the powerhouse in the salsa industry. The salsa comes in three strengths - mild, medium and hot. It's their mother's recipe of cilantro, lime juice and buttermilk,

I love the creaminess of the sauce - along with the reason it was started. Being an animal rights advocate , the Johannson brothers' passion to save rhinos struck a chord with me. Diablo Verde was a fun dip with tortilla dip, but I also used it in a burrito filling.

It started with tomatoes, and peppers chopped.

I used three tomatoes and five small sweet peppers.

I wanted to get Morningstar Farm chicken strips but couldn't find them at my local 

Shop Rite. I found these instead.It's Don Lee plant based burgers and I cubed it. It looked like pancetta or guanciale.

Everything was sauteed in Bertoli olive oil and had a liberal sprinkle of onion powder. I then added two heaping tablespoons of Diablo Verde and cooked on a medium flame.

I then dampened tortillas and microwaved for forty seconds . The filling was put in them,

Definitely add Diablo Verde to any burrito or taco filling. It works well with chicken but I can see slathering this on burgers for a zesty bite. It would also be good added to chicken or turkey chili. It can be found in HEB grocery stores throughout the Austen Texas area or at their website.

Diablo Verde  should be on your summer radar.It's an excellent for tortilla chips but great in cooking and on grilled meats and veggies. Try it today not only for yourself but to save rhinos too.
