Healthy Spanish Snack?!
Answers:
Although I could not tell you the calories, my recipe for guacamole is very low in numbers.
What you need:
2 ripe guacamoles, medium size
1 tsp fresh garlic, peeled and diced
half cup of chopped white onion, diced
1 large tomato, peeled, deseeded and diced
1/2 to 1 lime depending on taste
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
half tsp raw sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Cut avocados in half, pop out pit and scoop out meat. Use a fort to mash up the meat to chunky/smooth. Add in garlic and mash in. Add tomato and onion. Fold in cilantro. Squeeze lime juice in, add sugar (raw sugar is best as it is not processed like white sugar and cuts the acidity) and salt and pepper to your taste. Give one final mix and let sit in fridge before serving.
Instead of tortilla chips, I use melba toast! Noms!
Plantains sliced thin, brushed lightly with a little olive oil, and either baked in an oven or cooked in a frying pan on the stove top until crispy and golden brown. A pinch of salt or low fat cheese for flavor. You'll have to research the calories in plantains, I don't know it. But we used to eat this in Panama when I lived there.
Do you want a Spanish snack or a snack from any Latin country? Spanish means from Spain. latin means from a lot of different places; many of them don't even speak Spanish.
Who cares about the calories? It's only a snack. Try this: A dozen jalapeno peppers and a couple shots of good tequila. That'll sit them out for a while.
