Chilatas

[Guest guest]

I'm addicted to this on my, salads,

rice and black beans........Sissy

 

 

Chilatas is a textured powder

of toasted and ground seeds

seasoned with chile and salt.

 

It is sprinkled over a freshly

made corn tortilla or a dish

of beans, salads.

It is delicious, healthy, crunchy

and addictive.

 

Makes 1 1/2 cups loosely packed

 

 

1/3 cup shelled peanuts

 

1/2 cup sesame seeds

 

1/2 cup raw, hulled pumpkin seeds

 

1/8 tsp powdered, pure, hot, dried chiles

(not chile powder mixed with other

condiments)

 

1/2 tsp or to taste, medium coarse sea salt

 

 

 

Toast each of the seeds separately in

a heavy pan, taking care not to let

them get too brown.

 

Set aside to cool.

 

Grind them separately in an electric

coffee/spice grinder to a textured

consistency.

 

Mix together with the chile and salt

and store in a dry place in an airtight

container.

 

It keeps almost indefinitely.
