What is sweet, sour, and always is made with love? Tamarind Chile Paletas, of course! This frozen treat marries traditional ingredients that are found in Mexican-American candy, raspas (sno cones), and paletas. And—just like two peas in a tamarind pod—we believe the sweet and sour flavors in this Tamarind Chile Paleta are even better together!

Growing up in South Texas, we picked lemons from the trees in our backyard, found the sweetest Ruby Red grapefruits at the pulga (fleamarket), and bagged oranges in the bed of vendor pickup trucks on the side of the road. Inspired by the tastes of home, we made these Citrus Marinated Chicken Nachos with our Grain Free Dip Chips and dairy free Mild Nacho Cashew Queso!
Ahh, arroz con leche—it’s so much more than rice pudding! It was a sign of love from our abuela when we’d get home from school or a special surprise dessert in our lunch boxes after a long week. We decided to jot down this dairy free recipe, so you can create special memories with your familia, too!
To whoever said it wasn't possible to put fire in a taco, we see your traditional taco and raise you these Spicy Chicken Tacos, made with our Kettle Cooked Fuego Potato Chips. Baked to a crispy fuego-perfection, these delicious chicken tenders bring the crunch and the heat, if we do say so ourselves.
