Siete Foods’ Recipes for Grain- and Dairy-Free Mexican-Inspired Dishes

Austin-based Latinx food brand Siete Family Foods makes healthier versions of Mexican American heritage flavors with products like grain-free chips (made with avocado oil) and grain-free tortillas, hot sauces, sprouted bean dip, and cashew queso.

The local Garza family may have hit the big time in the CPG market (and apparently everyone’s favorite gooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, said she’s a big fan of the brand), but they’re staying true to their roots while amping up the nutritional values. Here are their recipes for green enchilada egg bake, chilaquiles, and Mexican cauliflower rice.

Green Enchilada Egg Bake

Ingredients:

Egg Bake

1 Siete Green Enchilada Sauce

4 organic free range eggs

1/4 cup cashews, raw

2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

2) Preheat oven to 350°F

3) In a wide oven-safe pan, place enchilada sauce and heat to medium. Let sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes to get slightly thicker.

5) Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until egg whites are cooked through

6) Blend all sour cream ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
