botanitas (snacks)

Sunday is often snack time, especially when Mexico are playing football on the tv.

So what is there?

Nopalitos salad:
diced nopales (cactus) mixed together with diced onion, tomates, "juanes" (like a runner bean that grows like a carrot!!) and coriander. Bought like this at the market.
Chilli and feta cheese added by me.

Cream cheese - this is just Philadelphia plus chopped spring onions.

Refried beans - just straight out of the tin and heated up. (Bit of chilli and salt added.)

Egg Mayo - Typical English recipe this is, no frills attached. Mash up boiled eggs with mayo, adding salt and pepper to taste. (No pepper here as Rafa doesn't like it much.)

Guacamole - Typical Mexcian recipe this one. Very very easy to do too: Mash up avocadoes with diced tomatoes, tiny diced onion and JalapeƱo chilli. Add salt and garlic powder to taste. YUM YUM.

We ate this first with warm fresh tortillas and then with "totopos" (like Doritos.)
