Corn on the Cob:
It’s corn time! Mexican street corn (or Elotes) makes a great spectator snack, both at the stadium and on the couch! Grilled to (your definition of) perfection and topped with chili powder, cotija (Mexican crumbly cheese, though you can use feta), and Mexican Sour Crema it is definitely full of flavour!
Nachos:
Now, amigos – this is where we start to get serious! Nachos are one of the staple party foods perfect for get-togethers... and more! Why not try making this
Nachos with Chorizo, Caramelised Pineapple Salsa and Red Chili Guacamole recipe - we guarantee your guests will love it!
Make it fun!
Divide your amigos into the two competing teams (this works for team sports, such as footy, soccer, basketball, netball, etc). If your team scores a goal, the opponent must attempt to throw a nacho in your mouth! That way, you get to eat a delicious nacho without even lifting your arms!
Dips and sauces:
What would nachos be without dips and sauces??
You guessed right, amigos – NOTHING! We’re only half joking, but to be fair, there’s nothing like dipping nachos in guacamole, salsa, sour cream or refried bean dip and feeling like the party is inside your mouth instead of in front of your eyes! We recommend making this
Pineapple Chili Salsa recipe for an interesting and different twist.
Make it fun!
You know those cliché phrases we all love to hear from sports commentators? Think ”He’s making a comeback!” or “She’s been training hard for this day!”. With every cliché phrase, why not take some salsa, make your opponent dip a nacho in it, scoop up as much as they can, and devour it as quickly as possible! This works for any sport!
Mini tortillas:
You can make mini burritos with these
mini tortillas (or eat them as soft tacos). The likelihood of dropping these are almost unlikely, as you can fit them in one hand... when you’re not moving around anyway!
Make it fun!
Instead of watching people synchronise in perfect time on a screen, why not synchronise with your amigo the Old El Paso™ way instead? Simply grab your amigo and a burrito each, and eat at the same time! You can try mimicking the other person’s eating style, and add some talking to make it more challenging. It’s hilarious for onlookers, and gets funnier when the players start to drool…
There you go! Let us know your favourite Mexi-snacks when you have your sports get-together. Maybe you and your amigos have done this before and have some crazy stories to share! Tell us by visiting our Old El Paso Facebook Page. Arriba, arriba, andale, andale!
