INTRODUCING OUR NEW FLAVOUR: MEATY ASADO
Our favourite flavours are inspired by simple things. This one by an open
fire, and the kind of food that brings people together.
The inspiration behind the flavour
In the heart of the Sonoran Desert of Northern Mexico, food and fire have always been inseparable. As the sun sets over the desert plains, families and friends gather around the traditional asado – an open-fire barbecue. The result is an evening of fire side stories with sprinkled servings of deep smoky meats dished out with salsas, crunchy vegetables and lashings of lime.
Here, the asado is more than a cooking method, it is the excuse for friends, family and community to come together. It’s this spirit, and those smoky, citrus-kissed flavours, that inspired our Meaty Asado tortilla chips.
Traditionally made tortilla chips
True to Blanco Niño’s commitment to traditional processes, Meaty Asado is made using the ancient Aztec process of nixtamalisation, where whole, regeneratively farmed corn is slow-cooked, steeped overnight, and stone-ground into masa. The process takes three days from start to finish, resulting in tortilla chips with exceptional depth of flavour and texture.
Ready to try it?
This is a flavour we’ve been seriously excited about.
Whether you’re sharing with friends, loading up nachos, or just enjoying straight from the bag, Meaty Asado is made to bring people together, just like the tradition that inspired it.
You’ll find it now in Waitrose and independent retailers across the UK. In Ireland, it’s launching in independent stores, with a wider rollout coming later in the year.
We can’t wait for you to taste it.
