Have you BEAN thinking about trying our beans? You’re in the right place (as in: it’s meant to bean)! We’ve extended our line to include two new flavorful and heritage-inspired versions: Vegan Refried Ranchero Beans and Vegan Charro Beans! Use as filling for yummy enchiladas, spread atop tostadas, scoop in breakfast tacos, serve alongside rice and dips, and more.

We’ve partnered with Nixta Taqueria, masters of nixtamalization, to create tortilla chips using a keystone ingredient of our Mexican culture: corn. Now introducing our limited-edition, cultural collaboration: Siete x Nixta Heirloom Corn Totopos (Tortilla Chips)! With Nixta’s tips and tricks, these gluten free, dairy free, and vegan artisanal chips were created—straight from our Siete kitchen. They’re fried in our usual avocado oil, making them light, crispy, but also full of great flavor from the nixtamalization process!

 

There's still time to apply to our second-annual Juntos Fund: Taco Edition! If you're on the fence about applying or just wondering how last year's recipients are doing, take it from our friends—and very first Juntos Fund recipients—Cindy and Andrea Pedraza at CocoAndre Chocolatier y Horchatería!

What travels faster than the speed of light? The speed of Siete news! We've got a phone number! Sign up to receive text messages (from our Siete Message Service/"SMS," wink wink), and you’ll have even quicker access to Siete Small Batch, the scoop on all things Siete, and the ability to contact our team, whenever, wherever—Shakira-style.

In July of 2021 (during our Siete Small Batch: Salsa Duo Edition!), we asked you what foods you wanted to see us make next. To our delight, the overwhelming response was one of our childhood favorites: Puffed snacks! Growing up, we’d enjoy these chile-covered puffs drenched in lime juice, bag after bag. It’s a dream to create a grain free version of this nostalgic snack for you, so we aptly named them Sueñitos Puff Snacks—a dream come true!

Togetherness is our familia's way of life, and one of our favorite ways to gather together is around the grill at a backyard asada. In our culture, a backyard carne asada is a gathering with friends, family, and neighbors. Think: A backyard barbecue! You don't need much to host one, but we've included a few of our favorite recipes & backyard asada essentials!

We remember the joy of walking into our Grandma Campos’ house and being greeted by the warm, savory aroma of frijoles. Beans are a “must-serve” at our table and a staple of our Mexican-American heritage. Which is why we’ve made our own Vegan Refried Pinto and Refried Black Beans using nourishing ingredients like organic beans and avocado oil! 

Here are a few simple gluten free & dairy free recipes (including some finger food favorites) we think you and your loved ones will enjoy! From Papitas Fried Pickles to Chili con Queso, each of these easy recipes has a kick of flavor so good they could score a field goal! 

It’s been a big year! 2021, our “golden year," marked seven years of Siete! It’s been a year of reflection about: where we started, how we got here, and where we are going. Here's how we're celebrating this holiday season, and even a few hints at what's to come next year...

We're delighted and so excited to partner with CocoAndré Chocolatier & Horchatería this holiday season to make... *drum roll, please* ... Mexican Hot Chocolate Bombs! A seasonal treat inspired by ours and their love for gathering with family, laughing, and enjoying desserts—always with cups of Mexican hot chocolate in hand!

It was our Grandma Campos who taught us that family always comes first, and it was her stamp of approval of our first tortilla that gave us the extra push of confidence to put ourselves out there and share our food! She inspired us to be brave, lead with love, and put family first. Our grandma shaped us and our family, and we honor her and her legacy every day.

Carne asada is not just a scrumptious cut of meat (usually beef) slowly cooked over a fire. It's an atmosphere and gathering where conversations are shared, corridos are played, and eventually, after a handful of cold beverages, bread is broken. Here, our Siete Grill Master and Culinary Expert have come together and answered a few questions about what our backyard carne asada mean to our familia!

Along with our recipient, Cindy & Andrea of CocoAndré, we had the pleasure of connecting with Jesse of Algo Dulce, Karina & Lalo of Cocina Consuelo, Jazmin & Enrique of Cocina del Corazón, and Joe of Swine House during the Siete Juntos Fund final interviews. We’re so inspired by the work and the missions of these incredible organizations, and honored to introduce them!
