Long before I served in Congress or as Secretary of the Interior, I made a living selling jars of my homemade salsa.
I started my salsa business when Somáh was just two years old. I was the designated salsa maker at all family and friend dinners, and it was always a hit! Finally, I decided to take the leap and start my own small business to share my salsa and give Somáh and me more time together.
That’s how Pueblo Salsa was born. I worked out of a commercial kitchen and sourced my red chile pequin from a farm in northern New Mexico. When I wasn’t busy prepping, roasting, and blending ingredients for my homemade salsa, I’d strap Somáh in the car seat and we’d drive for hours delivering orders to mom-and-pop shops across the state. It was a small business with a big heart. ❤️
Here’s Somáh posing with jars of my homemade salsa at the NM State Fair NMDA Country Store.
Pueblo children start early… 🌶️
So much has changed since those days I spent running my business, but my passion for sharing New Mexican food with friends and family is still as fierce as ever. That’s why I’m beyond excited to share our newest addition to the Team Deb merch store: our official Be Fierce green chile salsa!
Who knew I’d still be selling jars of my salsa all these years later?
Every jar of this salsa is made with love – and all-natural ingredients – right here in New Mexico. And every dollar from every purchase directly supports our hard work to grow our grassroots campaign for governor.
Be fierce,
Deb 🌶️
P.S. Cooking and sharing New Mexican food has always been one of my favorite ways to foster connection and build community – that’s exactly what we’re doing now as we build our people-powered campaign for New Mexico. If you’re a fellow salsa lover like me, head to our official Team Deb merch store to pick up your jar of our Be Fierce green chile salsa.
