HERDEZ is expanding its Mexican Refrigerated Entrées line with the addition of a classic pork dish celebrated for its bold, savory flavor: Al Pastor. HERDEZ’s new Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork with Sauce, which features tender, seasoned shredded pork simmered in a rich, flavorful sauce, brings delectable notes to every bite — with limited prep required.
This new variety includes tender shredded pork seasoned with rich spices, a hint of citrus and the smoky kick of chipotle chilies. Tacos al pastor is served in Mexico on small corn tortillas and paired with cilantro, green or red sauce, and sometimes pineapple. Whether layered in a cheesy gringas al pastor or piled high on street-style nachos, this new entrée brings serious flavor to every bite.
“As consumers continue to gravitate towards global-inspired meal solutions, this new variety delivers the perfect answer — making it easy to serve up a delicious dish that will have everyone asking for your secret recipe,” said Drew Parsons, refrigerated entrees brand manager at Hormel Foods, which owns HERDEZ.
In recent years, the demand for convenient meal solutions has risen substantially, particularly among younger consumers with busy lifestyles. They seek food that balances quality, nutrition and ease of preparation – food that delivers home-cooked quality without the time commitment. Heat-and-eat meat entrees, like HERDEZ’s Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork with Sauce, provide these meal solutions as a smart alternative to takeout or traditional cooking — all while never compromising on taste and quality.
HERDEZ’s Al Pastor Seasoned Shredded Pork with Sauce retails for $9.98–$10.98 and can be found in major retailers nationwide.
