Not "paste"
This review may be relevant to other newbies out there. If you're looking for tex-mex paste, this is not it. It's dry and hard, and it's difficult to dissolve. Since it wouldn't change into paste after a few minutes of cooking (pork tacos), we got creative and placed it in the microwave with some water to speed up the process. It helped a bit, but it still never turned into paste like tomato paste you may be used to.The flavor ended up having a very artificial hint to it, like plastic, which could be because we didn't prepare it properly. Advanced users may know how to make it into actual paste that tastes like paste, but the box doesn't provide any instructions other than "add it to the dish," so that's what we did.
