September 16 is an opportunity for foodservice operators to celebrate Mexican culture through the foods and flavors customers know and love.
This month, Gordo’s Foodservice is highlighting products that make it easy to build authentic Mexican-inspired menu specials, from traditional masa-based dishes to a refreshing Coca-Cola served in its classic glass bottle.
Start with Authentic Masa
Masa is the foundation of countless Mexican dishes, and Maseca gives operators the versatility to create a wide range of menu offerings.
Maseca Nixtamasa can be used for tortillas, sopes, gorditas, empanadas, tamales, and other favorites, making it an easy ingredient to incorporate across appetizers, entrées, and shareable plates.
For something visually different, Maseca Azul brings the distinctive appearance and flavor of blue corn to the menu. Blue corn tortillas or tostadas can create an eye-catching base for shrimp, carne asada, chicken, vegetables, avocado, salsa, and fresh toppings.
Build a Mexican Independence Special
Operators can turn these ingredients into limited-time offerings for September 16.
Consider combinations such as:
- Blue corn shrimp tostadas
- Carne asada sopes
- Fresh tacos with house-made tortillas
- Gorditas with seasoned meat and toppings
- Empanadas served with salsa
- Mixed tostada platters for sharing
Pair any of these dishes with an ice-cold Coca-Cola in the classic glass bottle to create a complete meal combination.
Celebrate Through Food
Mexican Independence Day is an opportunity to bring people together around authentic flavors and familiar dishes. With versatile ingredients like Maseca and refreshing beverage options from Coca-Cola, operators can create specials that feel festive without adding unnecessary complexity to the kitchen.
