Backyard Asada

Our family loves bean dip for all its smooth and shareable qualities. Add chorizo to the mix? We’re already happy dancing our way over to the kitchen! This Chorizo Bean Dip is made with our Vegan Refried Pinto Beans and is best served with a side of chips OR a side of tortillas to make tacos. (Bean and chorizo tacos are a family favorite—and we think your family will love them, too!)

CORN-gratulations! You just found the PUFF-ect dip to go with your Grain Free Puff Snacks: Roasted Corn Salsa! With just the right amount of smokey flavor from roasted corn and bell peppers and a light amount of spice from jalapeños, this salsa reminds us of backyard asadas and family gatherings, too. ¡Buen provecho!

Bringing the smokey flavors of a Backyard Asada straight to your pan, comal, kitchen, table, plate (you get the gist) since, well... '24! Yes, we've got NEW Siete Seasonings! And our Beef Fajita Seasoning's got all the South Texas flavors packed inside each packet.

This recipe came to us when we were eating jalapeño poppers at a Game Day gathering: Jalapeño Popper Dip! Think of this recipe as the perfect solution to when you're craving flavorful and creamy jalapeño poppers, but you're also looking to fill your table with heritage-inspired dips to go with alllllll the chips you've bought for The Big Game. ¡Buen provecho!

Jalapeño Ranch Dip? More like Jalapeñ-yes Ranch Dip! Okay, maybe that made more sense in our heads, but you get the point. This dip is a YES from us! Made with our Jalapeño Botana Sauce, it's just the thing to add a heritage-inspired kick to veggie platters, midday snack hour, salads, chips, and more. Plus, it's never too early to start saving recipes for Game Day!

Crema is a thick, rich, and creamy condiment that's used to add a tangy brightness to dishes such as enchiladas, soup, and tacos, and it can also help dial down the heat. Because our family is dairy-free, we make our crema from cashews. We know making crema from nuts might sound a little crazy, and it is -- crazy good.

What's Shrimp Aguachile, you ask? It's a seafood dish that's usually made with lime and chile marinated shrimp—a light & refreshing recipe that's our go-to when the summer months roll around. Imagine a spread of aguas frescas, fruit salsas, guac, and of course, this Shrimp Aguachile for dipping your Maíz Totopos in or scooping on top of tostadas (...now we're hungry!). Try this recipe and you'll see, it's "shrimp-ly the best!"

After a backyard asada, our family has leftovers for the whole week! One way we like to use our leftover fajitas (aside from tacos, of course) is Steak Panchos! We pile cheese, fajitas, fajita veggies, Traditional Botana Sauce, and your crema of choice on top of our Sea Salt Maíz Totopos and bake for best results—and by, “best results,” we mean cheese pulls on cheese pulls on cheese pulls!

Bring these Jalapeño Poppers to your next backyard asada, and we guarantee everyone will be jalap-eño business! All you need are jalapeño peppers for the base, a mix of cream cheese and our Jalapeño Botana Sauce for the filling, and our Sea Salt Maíz Totopos Corn Tortilla Chips for a crunchy topping. Our familia serves these to snack on while we wait for our proteins and veggies to finish grilling!
