consumers over the past few years and there is no sign of it slowing down in 2016 or beyond. This time our chefs have taken a Native American favorite and added an international flair. Chili powder and cinnamon are natural “Tex-mex” chili flavors, but to put them on a pumpkin seed carrier ties in to our theme this month of Native American Foods.
