Siete Stories

Carmen Rangel is a Mexican-American painter whose work inspires us. This is why we partnered with her to create this year's edition of our Grain Free Mini Buñuelos packaging! This beautiful packaging reflects Carmen's Mexican-American heritage in a way that speaks to our shared traditions, culture, and our Texas background! We are proud to share this exclusive packaging with you and bring back our seasonal Buñuelos in celebration of our favorite time of year.

Many of our family's greatest memories are made gathered around the table to enjoy delicious foods of our heritage. And over the years, we've met many amazing people who have founded restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, and delicious snack brands that we love. In honor of Heritage Month, we've listed four Latinx-owned food and beverage companies below!

Our Juntos Fund, which translates to “Together Fund," is a yearly opportunity for us to support Latinx businesses. This year, we selected three separate taquerias as our 2022 Juntos Fund recipients! Our family was wowed by these three amazing restaurants: Nana’s Taqueria, La Santa Barbacha, and Chilte Tacos.

After learning the ropes of nixtamalization and stone grinding corn from our friends over at Nixta Taqueria, we got a little snazzy with it. Because we love using innovative ingredients to make foods we enjoy (like homemade tortilla chips!), we created this Small Batch: Chickpea Totopos!

Celebrating our culture takes many forms: music, food, dancing, art, words, and more. In honor of our heritage and our wonderful community, we are highlighting a few creatives who inspire us with their work and their art forms. We admire each of these individuals and their craft, and we present each of their amazing stories down below!

In honor of Heritage Month, we’re celebrating our community by highlighting creatives, professionals, authors, and more. Today, we're sharing four cookbooks written by Latinx authors whose stories inspire us! Learn more about their heritage-inspired cookbooks, wonderful stories, and the delicious and innovative foods of their culture here.

In honor of Heritage Month, we’re celebrating our community by highlighting Latinx creatives, professionals, and honoring our heritage throughout the month. Today, we're sharing five Latinx musicians & bands whose music inspires us!

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!

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!
