505 Southwestern
If you know anything about me, you know that my go-to Hatch green chile brand is 505 Southwestern. Living outside of New Mexico and its surrounding states, it’s hard to find legit Hatch green chile. When I moved to North Carolina I had more than one person think I was talking about jalapenos or bell peppers when I mentioned green chile.
I always used 505 Southwestern’s Hatch green chile sauce for my chicken enchiladas and their red chile enchilada/tamale sauce for the red chile enchiladas because they make the meals taste homemade. Great flavor and it takes the step of making your own sauce out of the recipe steps, which I appreciate. I haven’t made a batch of vegan green chile enchiladas since coming out with the blog, and I plan on making it soon to share with you. I have always been partial to green chile, but I want to come up with a red chile enchilada recipe to share both with you.
All their salsas are quality and range in heat levels and styles, so they have something for everyone. My favorites are the Hatch Valley Tomatillo Garlic & Lime Salsa and Hatch Valley Green Chile Medium Chunky Salsa, but they are all delish. Hatch green chile makes everything better and I appreciate they put it in their salsas, since most just use jalapenos.
Lastly, the reason I fell in love with them so many years ago. Their Hatch green chile is everything you need when you can’t get the fresh thing to roast yourself. Now I never have to worry about running out of this kitchen staple, thanks to their jarred chile. I just keep a jar in my fridge at all times and put it in almost all my meals. Growing up, Hatch green chile was available for any meal and having theirs in the fridge makes me feel at home. It’s nostalgic for me, but delish for me and everyone else.
If you search my blog archive for 505 Southwestern, you can easily see all the recipes I have found ways to put their chile and salsa in my meals. I love the challenge of finding new ways to incorporate their products into meals that I can share with you. The pictures above are some examples of meals I have made using their items, and some of my favorites include the Cheesy Chik’n Green Chile Broccoli Casserole, Cheesy Green Chile Turkey Crescent Rolls, Crispy Potato, Corn, and Pinto Bean Tacos, and Nachos. Make sure you head to the archive in the header above to search through all the green chile filled goodness.
After years of love and posting about their products and the recipes I made with them, 505 Southwestern reached out to me to see if I wanted to join them in sharing the awesomeness that is their product line. I immediately said yes and now you can get 10% off at the checkout off all your items if you use PLANTBASEDLIVIN at checkout!! Can you believe that?

Tag me in your recipes or posts if you end up using their products to make any of my recipes on Instagram, and I’ll share it on my page as well.
I came home from Christmas vacation and found the most beautiful box waiting for me on the front porch from 505 Southwestern. I thought maybe it was a gift from a friend for Christmas, but it was a wonderful surprise from the company themselves! They were kind enough to send me a wooden box filled with my favorite items as you can see in the pictures above. Now I have enough in my pantry and with this box, to make those green chile chicken enchiladas I was telling you about earlier. It reminded me why I love this company so much. They care about their customers and the quality of the products they are selling. It’s why they will forever have a loyal customer in me, and I will continue to use their items to make delicious food for me and you. The only request I have, is if they can come up with a vegan queso, they will have perfected the salsa/queso game. 😊
