Two new “Tex-Mex” entrees join the tasty line-up of America’s most popular instant meals for backpackers, campers and emergency preparedness foods.

Mountain House, maker of America’s favorite, top-selling backpacking and camping meals, announces the introduction of two delicious new entrees: Spicy Southwest Breakfast Hash, and Chicken Fajita Bowl. They’re perfectly spiced to add a flavorful kick to your campsite breakfast, lunch and dinner. And like all Mountain House foods, they feature genuine home-cooked flavor with real meat and veggies, hot and ready to eat right from the pouch (just add water) with no dishes to clean after.

Spicy Southwest Breakfast Hash –

A wholesome start to fuel a day of outdoor adventures, this breakfast dish features the perfect mix of sautéed hash brown potatoes, shredded beef, and plenty of southwest veggie fixings: black beans, corn, red bell peppers, onions, and green chilies; while the just-right spicy flavor comes from a dash of the popular Cholula® Hot Sauce, a favorite in Mexican restaurants nationwide.

Chicken Fajita Bowl –

Enjoyed straight from the pouch, or piled into tortillas for an even heartier meal, this satisfying Tex-Mex dish features grilled chicken paired with all your traditional fajita favorites: diced red & green bell peppers, steamed rice, black beans, whole kernel corn, chopped onions and savory Southwest seasonings.

Like all Mountain House foods, the two new flavors feature high-quality ingredients, cooked up slowly to let the flavors blend naturally just like you would at home. Then, they’re expertly freeze-dried to preserve all the flavor in durable stand-up pouches that are incredibly lightweight, convenient, and packable. Delicious meals ready in a flash (just add hot water) and enjoyed right from the pouch, with no prepping, cooking or cleaning up afterwards.

“We’re excited to introduce these new meals as a uniquely spicy addition to our line of over seventy delicious products,” said Brandy Lamb, Senior Brand Manager. “One of the reasons we’re so popular is that campers and hikers can choose from so many classic favorites, and that also makes us perfect for family weekend campers or to feed kids on the go. Even picky eaters and finicky kids will always find a favorite meal.”

Lamb noted that adding some spicier options to the line gives even more variety to choose from and satisfies requests from customers for new meals inspired by Tex-Mex cuisine.

The new Mountain House meals are available nationwide at REI, Cabela’s and outdoor and sporting goods retailers nationwide, as well as abundant online retailers. Free media product samples and high-res photography of the new meals or any other products available upon request.
