The makers of the HERDEZ® brand announced the launch of its HERDEZ™ Mexican Refrigerated Entrées line with two varieties, including HERDEZ™ Chicken Shredded in Mild Chipotle Sauce and HERDEZ™ Carnitas Slow Cooked Pork. At-home cooks can now enjoy the traditions from the heart of Mexico in these convenient heat-and-eat meals with a blend of spices and seasoning. Inspired by some of the most popular Mexican dishes, these entrées are packed with flavor and protein, with each containing 7g of protein per serving.

Nearly two-thirds of consumers cite affordability as a major reason for cooking at home, and on an average weeknight, roughly half of millennials say they cook dinner from scratch. HERDEZ™ Refrigerated Entrées provide familiar flavors of Mexico with the convenience and versatility people crave as they create at-home meals. Varieties include:

- Chicken Shredded in Mild Chipotle Sauce (SRP $9.99-$10.99)—This all-natural chicken entrée combines tomatoes, garlic, onion and chipotle peppers for a bold flavor, and is slow cooked in its natural juices, making it ideal for any burrito, taco or main entrée, and is reminiscent of Chicken Tinga.
- Carnitas Slow Cooked Pork (SRP $9.99-$10.99)—Slow cooked and marinated with garlic and citrus for an original taste, this time-saving option makes it easy to enjoy Carnitas any time.

Beginning this month, HERDEZ™ Refrigerated Entrées will be available in 15oz packages (SRP $9.99-$10.99) at Publix and Hy-Vee stores across the US, with additional rollout to major grocery chains later this spring.
