Party Perfect Appetizers
- Taco Cones are the perfect portable finger foods that add a new twist to your next party and can be ready in less than 25 minutes.
- No fiesta is complete without flautas—a favorited Mexican dish. Make these restaurant-quality, crunchy Flautas stuffed with cheese, chicken and CHI-CHI'S® Thick & Chunky Salsa.
Easy Main Dishes
- Plan ahead and make a batch of 2-ingredient salsa chicken that will be ready to go on salads or in tacos or enchiladas at a moment's notice. Simply place chicken breasts in a slow cooker and cover with CHI-CHI'S® Thick & Chunky Salsa and toss until the chicken is covered. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours), or until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
- Give your guests a memorable and Instagrammable meal they'll be talking about all summer by preparing the ultimate mashup and making these Quesadilla Burgers
- Spice up your hotdogs with some serious flavor. Think beyond ketchup and mustard this year and opt for topping your hotdogs with a robust salsa made with ripe tomatoes and crisp onions such as CHI-CHI'S® Thick & Chunky Salsa.
Crowd-Pleasing Cocktails
- Elevate your next backyard brunch by preparing this easy-to-make and bloody delicious 5-star Blood Mary recipe made with CHI-CHI'S® Thick & Chunky Salsa Medium for the perfect kick of heat and just 5 ingredients. Pro tip: garnish with bacon, celery stick, jalapeno or shrimp.
- For a refreshing, citrusy and totally irresistible adult beverage, wow guests with a spicy salsa margarita. Simply blend CHI-CHI'S® Thick & Chunky Salsa Medium, lime juice, tequila and agave nectar until completely smooth.
