I'm a big fan of salsa, and I've tried almost every one from Trader Joe's. My favorite has to be the Habanero and Lime Salsa. Despite the fact that this salsa includes the world's spiciest pepper, the Habanero, I would only rate this as a "medium" salsa. I'm not a serious chili-head (I don't enjoy pain), so don't let the name scare you. The salsa has a slightly sweet and fruity taste.
The Wikipedia has an interesting entry on the Habanero pepper.
I put salsa on eggs, in Mexican food (typically quesadillas, nachos, or burritos), mixed in with black beans, and I also use it to baste grilled chicken. I will pour a jar into chili if I'm rushing the recipe or to add additional flavor.
Trader Jose's Habanero & Lime salsa costs $2.29 per jar.
Different strokes for different folks, I suppose -- I think this salsa is vile. It's made with lime oil, not juice, which gives it a unpleasantly pungent flavor. I love limes and habaneros, and must report that any hint of habanero is completely lacking from this salsa.

My son brought your tomatoeless salsa (corn salsa) and it was the best. He bought it in Minneapolis, Minn area and was wondering if you sell it in the St Cloud, Minn area. I just love it!! Harv

In the past I have bought the chicken and beef hand crafted Enchiladas at Trader Joes, and the package reads Trader Jose's. I have had 2 experiences of the red sauce being so hot it burned sores on my tongue. Of course I couldn't finish the dinner either time. I was surprised as I love hot food. I rinsed the sauce off of the entree and there were 2 little tiny pieces of chicken, a little piece of tortilla and mostly red sauce. Enchiladas are inexpensive when done in quantity. Gave it one last try.

The Habanero Lime Salsa is disgusting. It tastes like Pine-Sol. I bought it twice on accident and will not make that mistake again.
