To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, we're holding a ¿Que hay de cena?, or as I would say, What's For Dinner?, Recipe Contest. To enter, just create an original and creative Hispanic-inspired recipe using Rudolph Foods or Pepe's brand pork rinds for a chance to win a cash prize, free product and more! Recipes will be accepted from September 1 - October 30. Find out more!

I can't wait to test all the dishes! I'll be looking for authenticity, creativity and flavor. In all, we'll select five finalists who will win an assortment of Pepe's brand products for a year! One grand prize winner will receive free product for a year in addition to a cash prize of $300 - ay carumba!

I bought your Cracklins for the first time. Good not greasy. I like to eat them with sliced apples. I ration them out to myself and remember the Depression in the Boomtowns in Oklahoma. My old 81 years have a lot of stored memories. The bottom line is - your Cracklins are 'right on.' But you know that! Thanks.

My husband John Rudolph was first welcomed to the snack food industry while selling a Mexican-style gourmet snack, "pepitas" or fried pumpkin seeds. We've kept our Hispanic beginning front and center ever since, with pork rinds — or chicharrones to our friends to the south.

Chicharrones are a traditional and popular snack throughout Mexico. In fact, chicharrones are so tasty that they are incorporated to many main meal dishes, like this authentic Charro Beans recipe.
