Whether you are a salsa connoisseur or new to adding a little bit of spice to your life, there’s an Ancira Salsa for everyone. With 5 different heat levels and flavors, it can be a bit challenging to pick a new one to try out, even if you have already enjoyed one of our salsas before. Each one has an authentic homemade taste that you just can’t get enough of. 

So how do you know which flavor you should try out? And what else can you pair your salsa with besides fresh tortilla chips?

There’s actually so many different recipes you can use each salsa for beyond the standard chips and guac combo. Each Nearly World Famous salsa has a great spice and authentic feel that can’t be replicated.

Mild Salsa

Our Mild salsa is perfect for anyone who is sensitive to spice, but still wants a little kick. You’ll taste fresh tomatoes, garlic, and a hint of jalapeño peppers. And the consistency is perfect, not too chunky and not too liquidy like other mild salsas.

What is Mild Salsa Used For?

Our Nearly World Famous Mild salsa is just the right thing to add some flavor to breakfast. We believe that it pairs best with chilaquiles, eggs, breakfast tacos, and breakfast burritos. One of our verified salsa lovers, Jessica, even goes as far to mention that “I feel empty if I don't have this salsa on hand during breakfast.” 

Green Salsa

If you’ve never tried this great tasting classic, it’s best to grab a jar or two now. Green salsa or salsa verde is made from tomatillos, a fruit native to Mexico. They look similar to a green tomato, but have a husk and different flavor altogether. Tomatillos are more tart and have a slight sweet flavor that make it a great pairing with jalapeño peppers.
