Black beans and Jalapeños, two ways

Chef Jose Hadad got his first taste of professional cooking at the age of 17. But it was long before then that he became hooked on being a chef, all thanks to his grandmothers. He watched them meticulously make dishes from the simplest ingredients while growing up in Mexico City. Fast forward to 2006, Hadad arrived in Toronto, bought himself a small table at the St. Lawrence Market and started selling fresh, authentic Mexican products. Today, his line of “Mad Mexican” foods are part of what he calls a “Mexican food revolution” in Toronto — a movement to introduce true Mexican flavours to consumers. They include several salsas such as the two-way jalape-no bean dip. Fire-roasted jalapenos tag-team with chipotles, and are offset by caramelized onions and black turtle beans — a combina-tion perfect on its own or on a sandwich.
