Gluten free
Suitable for Vegans
Smoky Chipotle San Miguel de Allende, just north of Mexico City, is a town bursting with vibrant culture. Its buildings, ruby red and mustard yellow in colour, its streets paved with cobblestones, abuzz with the chitter chatter of vendors and their patrons. It's here to this beautiful cityscape that our mind travels whenever we reminisce of one of our favourite chilli, the Chipotle. When fresh from the field it carries the name, Jalapeño, but when smoked and dried, it becomes a Chipotle; the key ingredient in the famous adobo sauce. Smoky and a little sweet, with a friendly kick of heat, this sauce is the inspiration for these chips and emblematic of wonderful San Miguel.
Made the Aztec Way
We select the very best whole non-GMO corn, which we cook then steep overnight, before grinding into a dough called masa using our hand-carved, Mexican volcanic stones. An ancient process called Nixtamalisation. While still hot, this masa is shaped and baked into tortillas. We then leave the tortillas to rest overnight, before cutting and lightly frying them to become the most delicious, authentic tortilla chips.
It takes three days from start to finish, but we think it's worth the wait.
In pursuit of the perfect tortilla, I set out on what would become quite a serendipitous journey across Mexico. Visiting the milpas, molinos and tortillerias, I picked up a new nickname Blanco Niño and learnt the secret to making truly authentic tortillas. It's this thousand-year-old recipe that inspired the chips you now hold in your hand.
While the Blanco Niño Tortilleria is based in Ireland, we owe our existence to the extraordinary people and history of Mexico. Our team is passionate about Mexican food and dedicated to doing the ancient Aztec recipe justice every day.
Traditionally Mexican. Unexpectedly Irish.
