We decided to honour that with a couple of our favourite Mexican recipes – crispy nachos and a guacamole with a twist of chilli and lemon. To get it just right we armed Howie with his best Spanish (he’s getting very good you know) and sent him off to chat to a couple of Mexican friends (and their mothers). This recipe is the beautiful culmination of their guacamole knowledge. It’s a super simple dish that won’t let you down – suitable for any celebration or occasion, or just as a tasty snack. Avocado always mixes well with lemon and salt – and the chilli gives it that extra kick. And it’s not just good for us – it’s good for our furry friends too. This recipe is completely vegan – no animals were harmed in the making of it. What’s not to like?
Health Benefits – Tangy Guacamole
We’ve said it before – fiber. We’ll say it again – fiber. Fiber, fiber, fiber. We don’t eat enough and that’s really not good! Fiber is absolutely imperative to a healthy diet, and most people don’t even come close to the needed 20-30g a day. It can help lower the chance of heart disease, strokes, diabetes and obesity. It can also help lower cholesterol and blood pressure and can even enhance weight loss. Sounds worth eating to me (Fiber, our friend). This guacamole alone contains over 15g, and add the tortilla fiber to that and you’re there. This dish is also high in vitamins B6 and C (give your skin a boost over the coming harsh winter months) and the ‘good’ fat.
