Our family believes in the power of food, and its ability to gather loved ones around the table; but this recipe reminds us that food is also a way to remember and honor loved ones who came before us.
We share this Taco Salad in memory of Carol, Kristen’s mom, who taught her “that love has no limitations, family is who you love, the earth is for us to respect and nurture so that it can give back to us, a smile can mean the world to someone so always look people in the eye and smile, wave to people you do not know, and never ever take anything for granted.”
Thank you, Kristen, for sharing your family’s story with us. We’re honored to be at the table as you remember your loved one, and share this with nostalgic recipe with the rest of your Siete familia. Juntos es Mejor.

With the weather getting colder each day, we've bean craving something warm. So if you're anything like us and your tastebuds are still in holiday mode, we've got you covered!
So, you're hosting for the holidays, and checking your guest list twice when you realize Jack Frost RSVP'd "YES." It's fantastic news (his calendar is booked this time of year!) but suddenly you realize you need to come up with a drink that's as cool as he is—literally. "I've got it: Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate!" you exclaim, "With buñuelos on top!" Well, isn't that just the icing on the shake.
Imagine: you're sitting on the couch with Mexican Hot Chocolate in hand, watching snow fall outside, and kicking your feet (clad in your favorite fuzzy socks, of course) up near the crackling fireplace. You take a sip of your creamy Mexican Hot Chocolate and ahhhh, yes..tastes like happy, happy holidays!
