Baja Foods Introduces New Chef Gustavo Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas

Baja Foods, a family-owned leader in authentic Mexican cuisine, has unveiled an exciting new product: the Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas, now part of its premium Chef Gustavo line. These flavorful enchiladas are crafted with the utmost care and are initially available at select Costco locations across the Southeastern United States.

A Culinary Master Behind the Brand

At the helm of the Chef Gustavo brand is Executive Chef Gustavo Chávez, whose roots trace back to Michoacán, Mexico. Chef Gustavo’s culinary journey began under the guidance of his father, and after he immigrated to the U.S. at just 13, he rapidly ascended the ranks of the restaurant industry. He made his mark as the youngest manager at the famed El Torito restaurant chain in California. Known affectionately as "El Chile Mayor," he has made numerous national television appearances and has collaborated with many high-profile brands to enhance the authenticity of Mexican cuisine.

The Chef Gustavo brand aims to bring these authentic Mexican flavors directly to consumers' kitchens, delivering not just meals but experiences that reflect his passion for culinary excellence.

The New Enchilada Offering

The newly launched Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas feature antibiotic-free shredded white meat chicken, all wrapped up in hand-rolled corn tortillas accompanied by fresh vegetables. This delicious entrée is served on a bed of fiesta rice and is generously topped with a creamy, mild jalapeño-Hatch green chile crema sauce and a delightful blend of melted cheeses. Each package contains six enchiladas, making it a convenient, chef-crafted meal option for busy families who don’t want to compromise on taste.

Art Velasquez, the CEO of Baja Foods and the son of Azteca Foods’ founder, expresses excitement about this new product: “The launch of our second Chef Gustavo item is another major milestone for Baja Foods. Our mission remains focused on sharing authentic Mexican cuisine that showcases a unique flair, and these new enchiladas are a delicious homage to Chef Gustavo’s culinary traditions.” Moreover, he adds, “We are thrilled to broaden access to the Chef Gustavo brand through our expansion into Costco locations across the Southeast.”

The Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas are now available for purchase in various locations, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and even Puerto Rico.
