Canitas Nachos

Are you ready for some football…. TAILGATING??? I know that I look forward to tailgating every year, and while the first thing to bring to a tailgate is your team spirit, the second thing is THE FOOD! Am I right?

Canitas Nachos

I was privileged to create this recipe for Martinez Salsa – the perfect new addition to all of our tailgates!

Martinez 1

Martinez Salsa is true Mexican fire roasted salsa, developed 5 generations ago by Grandmother Martinez in the Southern regions of Mexico.  It was only available in Mexico, until now.  Developed in a kitchen, not a laboratory.  You will taste the difference from the first bite.  Martinez salsa comes in 4 flavors: Mild, Medium, Red Hot and Peach.  

Canitas Nachos

I created these nachos so that whether you are tailgating in the parking lot of your favorite team’s stadium, or in your own living room, you can make these for the masses! They cook up great on the grill or right in the oven.

How do you like YOUR nachos?? I like mine completely loaded —  my salsa of choice was the Martinez Medium — a very GENEROUS amount right over the top.  That way I was sure to get some in every last bite!!
