Kristine Mirelle Trujillo started "Lil Kristi's" Mexican food products in the winter of 2010. Her goal was to create high quality delicious Mexican Foods. Although the brand was new, her and her family were very familiar with the Mexican food business.
Kristine's great grandmother and grandfather started "El Charro Mexican Foods" in a small garage in 1949 in Roswell NM. Kristine's father, Michael Trujillo, took over the Mexican food factory in 1993. Kristine and her brother and sister worked in the familiy business since they were children and into their adult-hood packaging tortillas, labeling tortilla chip bags, and helping customers in their store.
To make tortilla chips, many brands use "Maseca"--a refined corn flour. Using Maseca makes it cheap and easy to make tortilla chips and sacrifices taste. Lil Kristi's Tortilla Chips are made with 100% pure corn. We don't skip any steps or cut any corners and that's why our chips simply taste better. First our corn is cooked and then ground into masa with lava rocks. It's then fired up in our ovens and cooked to perfection. We then lightly fry it and season by hand! The difference is obvious... with no preservatives, our gluten-free recipe will make you crave for more.
