Homemade Tortilla Chips

Making chips from scratch may sound tedious, but the health & flavor benefits are great. This is a simple recipe, but do them up a bit further with various seasonings of your choice: cumin, smoky paprika, even a pinch of sugar or cinnamon.

Black Bean Dip

Whip up this dip and serve hot or cold as an easy lunch or tasty snack. A Hatch Chili is an anaheim chili that has been roasted. If you cannot find them fresh or frozen, canned green chilies work as well.

Guacamame Salad

Edamame or soybeans are used as the base for this avocado-edamame guacamole style salad. This can even be served as a dip with tortilla chips. If you cannot find ripe tomatoes, try fresh chopped mangoes instead.

Chipotle Cream

Whenever you use sour cream on a Mexican dish, try this instead to add a bit of spice and cooling at the same time. We use yogurt to get a bit more natural acidophilus in our diet, but sour cream works too. You can buy chipotles in adobe sauce in a can. Just blend the peppers to make a sauce that is easy to use in recipes. If you want to skip the can you can find tasty chipotle powders such as from the Savory Spice Shop as well.
