The Ortiz Jerky brand traces its roots to a family tradition in Socorro, New Mexico, where the founders began hand-making beef jerky decades ago. The business evolved into a dedicated jerky producer, bringing handcrafted beef jerky — in flavors such as Original, Green Chile, Red Chile, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, and more — to a broader audience. Rather than offering fresh meat cuts or a butcher shop storefront, Ortiz Jerky focuses exclusively on dried, flavored beef jerky, shipped directly to customers or available for purchase through its online shop.
