Mayan Pantry is a collection of Mexican-inspired salsas and dips, which bring the flavour and tradition of the Yucatan to your home. Our team is made up of two people; husband Miguel, born and raised in Merida, Yucatan and wife Jessica, born and raised in Toronto. Miguel’s love for sharing his culture through cuisine, paired with Jessica’s expertise as a holistic nutritionist brought the idea of Mayan Pantry to light. Mayan Pantry uses organic and nutrient-dense ingredients to make salsas and dips that have your family’s health in mind, never trading health for deliciousness.

Though our recipes are inspired by Miguel’s homeland, our products are made with locally sourced organic produce, and an abundance of healthy fats from organic extra virgin olive oil and organic pumpkin seeds which not only contain anti-inflammatory omegas but nutrients like zinc (immunity boosting), magnesium and vitamin E.

My name is Erika Araujo, I am a Mexican chef born in Mexico City.  I never felt so proud to be Mexican until I move to Toronto and I started to cook. I felt in love cooking and then later I reaffirmed my passion in the kitchen of Humber College, when I did the culinary program. Changing from Nursing career  to Culinary made me realize my new passion to be a promoter of my own Culture though the Mexican Gastronomy because cooking is a call to act, promote and showing love. I created my company Ixiim.

Ixiim help me to follow my passion, to find my voice in a foreign country that now I call home and though my food I can bring more inclusion to the Mexican community in this wonderful country.

Cooking give me  the opportunity to help others, to do new things, met new people, involve in community projects, promote my roots and create delicious food so people can fall in love with the amazing country where I am come from and they can enjoy a Mexican dish to share with family and transport to Mexico in a bite.
