Description

A deliciously simple Mexican summer snack, crunchy, tangy, and with a kick.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cucumber, semi-peeled and sliced in thick slices

1 lime, juiced

Chile powder or Tajin or any Mexican fruit seasoning powder to taste

Sea salt to taste

Optional: 1 jalapeño or red chili, finely sliced or chopped


Instructions

  • Chill cucumber for 30 minutes before starting.
  • Peel, and slice cucumber in thick slices.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and enjoy as a snack.

Notes

I like to add more chile powder as I eat. Some bites have more and other’s less chile, it’s up to you.

Oh, and if you want to spice this up a little bit, you may want to add some chopped fresh chilies to the mix. It adds another layer of heat, and makes it extra tasty.

Don’t forget to drink the juice left at the bottom, it’s the best part.
