TOTOPOS 213G BLUE SIETE

  • $8.99

Our familia has been working on fine-tuning the recipes for our new Maiz Totopos for years. We used ingredients we love and feel good about (like organic corn and creamy avocado oil!) to make our delicious totopos!

Plus, we're proud to highlight and honor the process of nixtamalization, an ancient technique that has been part of our Mexican culture for generations. This process includes stone-grinding and soaking corn in lime, which helps brings out it's naturally robust and delicious flavors—and gives our totopos that nice crunch! As corny as it sounds, they taste pretty a-maíz-ing this way.

 

WHAT’S MAÍZ? 

“Maíz” is corn. It’s pronounced like: Mah-eez!

WHAT ARE TOTOPOS?

“Totopos” are tortilla chips! They’re crunchy and often fried in a variety of oils, and sometimes they’re baked, too. We made ours using our favorite: avocado oil!

 

WHY AVOCADO OIL?

Like corn, avocado is an ingredient that plays a big role in our culture. Avocado oil is mild in taste and has a high smoke point which makes it versatile and perfect for frying all of our chips. (Plus, it’s our go-to!)

WHY NIXTAMALIZED CORN?

Corn is a crop with deep roots in our Mexican heritage that our ancestors have been eating and enjoying using the ancient process of nixtamalization for thousands of years. This process changes the profile of the corn (and gives it that great, nostalgic flavor!) by soaking the kernels in lime and then stone-grinding them to make masa (dough).

With our mission to have something for everyone and there being so many different types of corn, we thought, “why not make a blue corn tortilla chip?” It looks like the medianoche night sky and tastes like a dream! So, once we sourced delicious avocado oil & organic blue corn kernels, it was really just a chip off the old block.
