Celebrate Tomatoes
Diners want tomatoes ALL the ways right now. Celebrate the juicy produce simply with a plated side or appetizer of fresh or roasted tomatoes on a bed of whipped cheese. We like using our White Three Cheese Sauce to make this dish easy. Top with herbs, flaky salt, a crack of pepper, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with a crusty bread and let guests dig in to this taste of summer!
Jump on the Birria Train
Looking to reach Gen Z and millennials in one dish? Add birria to your menu! It’s a trending item that only continue to grow. Think birria pizza, quesadillas, nachos, tacos, ramen… get creative, your diners will love it. Want to make an easy birria that won’t slow down your kitchen? Check out this guide.
Think Global
Diners are craving global flavors, even ones they aren’t familiar with! Creating intrigue is the name of the game. Consider adding pupusas to your appetizer or happy hour menu. These stuffed corn cakes are sure to please and can be created as a gluten free option. Utilize our fully cooked and perfectly seasoned beans as a filling with Oaxaca cheese. Want an even easier solution? Try a prepare pupusa from your local distributor and serve with a fun sauce for flair.
Go Green
Most diners have heard of mole, but have they had mole verde? This vibrant, green sauce is a great way to add color and big flavor to a plate. Serve it with proteins, animal and plant-based. Skip the job of roasting and grinding tomatillos and spices, instead start with our Salsa Verde as a base and add a few ingredients to make it a mole. Easy! Check out the menu idea here.
