These No-Bake Nachos require basically zero prep – just assemble, set out on the coffee table, and let the tackling commence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a base of White Corn Tortilla Chips.

He grinds non-GMO white corn, water and lime using hand-carved volcanic stones – a traditional labor-intensive process known as “nixtamalization.” The mixture is then pressed into tortillas, which are baked, hand-quartered and fried to make chips. They’re perfectly crunchy, with just the right sprinkling of salt to bring out the mild sweetness of the ground corn. Si, por favor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the salsa, we prefer Aji Pepper Salsa made by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/vendors?q=Zukali\" title=\"Zukali\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZukali\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in McKinney, Texas. It’s made with aji panca, a Peruvian chile you'll want to get to know if you haven’t made its acquaintance already. It's chipotle's meek cousin – lightly smoky, slightly spicy, with a lovely fruitiness. And it looks pretty when contrasted against the Pickled Thai Basil Jalapeños we scatter all over the place, because, confession: We’re obsessed with everything that comes from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/vendors?q=Gordy%27s+Pickle+Jar\" title=\"Gordy's Pickle Jar\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGordy's Pickle Jar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.

If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to have a taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, about the cheese.

While brainstorming which apps to serve I was reminded of my favorite childhood snack, barbecue chips dipped in sour cream (how could I ever forget?!). Once I remembered I suddenly had to have it. I picked up some BBQ chips and a tub of sour cream from my corner bodega, and upon first lackluster bite, quickly came to the realization that I seem to now like more adult flavors, like blue cheese, and, you know, whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut chips and sour cream used to be easy, and so exciting – crunchy, smoky-sweet chips dunked in cool, creamy dairy... Well, I wasn’t going to give up that easily. There \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e be a way to reinvent my childhood favorite and make it Super Bowl Sunday-worthy.

They’re seasoned with one of the best barbecue rubs out there, a \"Carolina Dirt\" rub inspired by the clay-colored soil found in the Carolinas. I’m pretty confident these light, crunchy chips flavored with layers of chipotle, cumin, mustard, ancho chile, garlic and brown sugar will score me some major host points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, on to the dip. Straight up sour cream does have its time and place (looking at you, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/blogs\/mouthpiece\/easy-super-bowl-dip-recipe\" title=\"four-layer dip\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efour-layer dip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e), but when it’s the \u003cem\u003eonly\u003c\/em\u003e thing in the bowl?

Part of it was because I got exposed to great food while I was working at design studios here near Dallas. Vendors would take us out to nice restaurants for lunch or dinner, so I got to try a lot of great places. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow did you get into making your salsas and deciding to go into business?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust by making them at home. I started with simple salsas and then got into more complex ones. I was basically just experimenting. I would always roast jalapeños on the grill and add lime juice and salt, as is very typical in Mexico. Then a close friend of mine brought me a jar of serranos in soy sauce from Mexico. I loved the flavor, but they were a bit salty and too spicy for me. I thought I could improve them, so I would roast jalapeños instead of serranos, and serve them with lime juice and soy sauce. Friends and family enjoyed them so much that I thought why not try to sell them. I create brands for a living so it was perfect in that it combined both my passion for food and for design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is your salsa made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, I decided early on that without experience in the food industry, it was a dangerous proposition to invest in my own facility, so I found a local co-packer to help us. Our peppers come from Monterrey, Mexico. We usually do work in very small batches, maybe 50 cases at a time, here in Plano, Texas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBiggest challenges?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany!
