Chefs Tips

  • Try grilling other El Monterey products such as: Burritos, Corn or Flour Taquitos, Cruncheros, and Tamales (take the plastic off tamale before cooking and leave the husk on for different masa flavor and texture).
  • Try your own choice of seasoning mixes or rubs you'll find on the spice shelf at your store such as: Jamaican Jerk, Cajun, and Spicy Southwestern.
  • Serve your grilled platter with your favorite salsas, guacamole, sour cream, or even with mixed salad greens and your favorite dressing.
