How do I use Ortega Fajita Skillet Sauce for fast weeknight meals?

Start by cooking your choice of protein and vegetables in a skillet, then stir in the Ortega sauce and simmer a few minutes until everything is coated and heated through. The sauce cuts down prep and seasoning time, letting you serve fajitas in under 20 minutes from start to finish.

• Cook 1–1.5 pounds of protein and sliced peppers/onions over medium-high heat.
• Add one 7 oz jar per skillet and simmer 3–5 minutes.
• Serve with warm tortillas, lime, and optional toppings.

What flavors and ingredients should I expect in this skillet sauce?

Ortega formulates this fajita sauce with a balanced mix of savory and mildly spicy seasonings designed to complement grilled or sautéed ingredients. The taste profile highlights chile and aromatic spices while remaining versatile enough for different proteins and vegetables.

• Chile-forward seasoning with complementary spices for depth.
• Bright, fresh flavor notes suitable for beef, chicken, shrimp, or veggies.
• Made to blend into pan drippings so it creates a saucy fajita finish.

How much sauce do I need and how long will the 6-pack last?

Each 7-ounce jar is intended for a single skillet serving for 3–4 people, so the six-pack covers roughly six skillet meals. If you cook for a larger group or prefer extra sauce, plan on using two jars per meal; otherwise one jar typically seasons a family-sized skillet.

• One 7 oz jar serves 3–4 people per skillet.
• Six jars provide about six standard fajita meals.
• Store unopened jars in a cool pantry; refrigerate after opening and use within recommended time.

Can I customize the heat level or adapt the sauce for other dishes?

Yes. The sauce works as a versatile base — adjust heat by adding fresh chiles or a dash of hot sauce, or mellow the spice with sour cream or cheese. It also doubles as a flavor booster for tacos, burrito bowls, rice, and marinades.

• Increase heat with diced jalapeño, hot sauce, or crushed red pepper.
• Soften spice using crema, yogurt, or shredded cheese.
• Use as a quick marinade, taco sauce, or rice bowl seasoning.
