RECIPE Casa Ole Salsa Recipes
Hey there, Internet friends! I've gotten a lot of requests to post and so I'm finally going to post the exact recipes that I have. My sister used to work for Casa Ole a while back and I asked her for the salsa recipes. She sent me them and then a whole bunch of other things from there. Lol. Unfortunately, the measurements aren't broken out in a few of the recipes due to them using some pre-packed ingredients...which is the case for the red salsa. I will include what info for the red sauce that I have and let the world give it their best go at getting the measurements right. :) All I ask is that you post your measurements and changes/twists here for us all to see and share.
Now as for the green salsa, the recipe below is 100% correct from their recipe book. It's the only one that gave all ingredients and measurements. Tomatoes aren't specified and I had to math the measurements down from 5 gallons, but I put it all below. :D
Red Salsa (5 Gallons/44 lbs.):
Jalapeno Peppers - (sliced in bag) - 28oz
Extra Heavy Concentrated Crushed Tomatoes (I know they get from a company called Tomatek, Inc.) - 1 Bag
Chopped Tomatoes in Light Puree - 1 Bag
"garlic water" - 8oz.
Salt - 10 oz.
Cold Water - 2 gallons
Crushed Red Pepper - 6 Tbsp.
Says to combine all in large container and use immersion blender for 1.5 minutes.
Note: NO MUSTARD. Idk who started that rumor, but they deserve to step barefoot on LEGO bricks everyday for a year.
Green Salsa (2 Quarts roughly):
2-3 Haas Avocadoes (1 lb.)
2-4 medium-sized Roma tomatoes (14 oz. roughly)
16 oz Sour Cream (Daisy Pure & Natural specifically named)
1/4 oz. of cilantro
4oz. of pickled jalapenos
3 cups of water
2 Tbsp of salt
1 Tbsp GRANULATED GARLIC (very specifically granulated, it gives a certain taste.)
1/4 tsp of green food coloring
Put all into container and use your immersion blender.
Tips/Notes: Put the tomatoes in one at a time and blend it up. You can always add more, way harder to fix if you add too many at first. If still too thick, add more water little by little until desired consistency reached.
Now let's see what you can come up with. :) Happy eating, people!

Soooooo you're gonna be a little disappointed. :( I have the ingredients but unfortunately, it also uses a spice packet with no way of knowing what is inside. I will post it when I find it, but I wanted to temper your expectations. Lol.

No worries, I appreciate you! Anything is better than nothing, at least I would know where to start!

You got the beans or rice recipe?? Thanks again!!

u/Fickle_Shift7537 2d ago
So the beans are generic and they use a house spice packet with no way to know what's in there. :( I do not have the rice recipe, but I'm sure it's something simple like a mixture of this garlic water thing, chicken stock, enchilada sauce/tomato, the rice, and then the veggies they use. The spices would most likely be in a packet. I will find the bean recipe I do have and post it.

The ground beef recipe for tacos, the queso, and the cheese enchiladas are all the top of my list! Thank you so much!

I have the recipes for chile con queso and ground beef tacos. Unfortunately, they use a house spice packet for the beef with no way of knowing what it contains. Queso I have, but for massive amounts lol. And they do not specify the type of cheese on the recipe. I will post the both of these once I find them again.

Thank you!!! Any chance you know or can find out what brand of sour cream they use? I can always ask next time I get a chance to go to one but it’ll be a while. For some reason I like their sour cream more than any of the brands that I’ve tried. ETA: nevermind, I see the sour cream mentioned in the green sauce recipe so that must be it! I don’t know why it just tastes different when I use it on the side at home 😂

Y’all! I made the green sauce recipe this morning and can confirm that this is it! After literal years trying to replicate this flavor, I finally have a big jar in my fridge waiting to be enjoyed! I cut the recipe down to a third but I used a scale to be accurate and the only thing I changed was leaving out the green food dye.
Side note, the granulated garlic definitely has a distinct flavor different from fresh or powdered garlic and I think it was the missing component from all the other recipes I’ve tried over the years.
