Pickled Cherry Tomatoes
I LOVE these incredible tomatoes! The longer they sit, the better they get! At least one night in the fridge before you eat them is best, although they’re good right away too. I learned how to make these when I took a Bistro Boot Camp at the CIA local campus.

Creamy Jalapeño Salsa
Medium heat, MAXIMUM flavor in this Creamy Jalapeño Salsa from Freebirds! Inspired by local taco houses, it’s a jalapeño salsa with a flavor as vibrant as its color. Jalapeños, garlic and cilantro are blended to perfection to create a fresh, creamy texture.

Executive Chef Alberto Gutierrez’s take on the classic Mexican dish, which hales from the coast of the Yucatan region of Mexico, Cochinita Pibil. Cochinita Pibil gets its robust flavor from the Achiote paste.
