As a teenager, Garza was diagnosed with several devastating autoimmune conditions. Overweight and depressed, Garza turned to her other 6 member of the family (” siete” keeps in mind the households mathematical bond) to increase their exercise but likewise turn toward grain-free, primarily vegan cooking. The Austin, Texas– based family would ultimately release a food company that revealed Mexican American cuisine, rich with dairy items and flour-based tortillas, in a new way. The recipes stuck, and the company now has annual sales north of $200 million, with enormous expansion plans in the future. I connected with Garza to discover how the company is thinking outside the flour tortilla.
How do you do it gluten-free without sacrificing flavor and texture?Each of our products is made to fill a need or fix an issue.

My bro Rob suggested I try eating grain-free to see if it would assist with my signs, and since my household does everything together, my parents and siblings joined me.

What is one misconception about Mexican food that you hope is busted after reading your book?One misunderstanding thats often made about Mexican American food is that its limited to a smaller group of foods– for example, we see popularized meals like nachos, burritos, and tacos, however thats really just the pointer of the iceberg when it concerns meals of our culture.
