There's a company that makes traditional Mexican sauces (mole poblano, 
pipian, chile verde, et al.) that packages their product in this way.  I 
think it's Herdez, but don't quote me.  I can personally attest to the 
quality of their pipian sauce; it's made with roasted pumpkinseed, chiles, 
wheat crackers, peanuts (I think) and spices, and hooboy is it good.  Stir a 
couple spoonfuls of the paste in with your favorite chicken-braising liquid, 
and let it cook.  Yum.
