Guac comes in so many different ways. Some with corn, others with tomato, or without onion. I was super hungry and wanted something to whip up quick. What’s better than some homemade guac and chips? I went to check my refrigerator and realized there were slim pickings. Surprisingly, I ended up with a spicy, creamy, delicious guac dip.
Highlighted Ingredient: Cayenne Pepper
Living in the jungle of Costa Rica anything can happen and supplies are scarce. A friend of mine cut her thumb very deeply and was gushing an absurd amount of blood. I was surprised when she asked me for my cayenne pepper to stop the bleeding. She packed a generous amount of it in there and within 45 minutes the bleeding had stopped. Cayenne is good for a multitude of things ranging from dissolving mucous in the body to curing headaches. This powerful spice has been used as medicine for over 9,000 years. It has the ability to stimulate circulation and minimize acidity within the body. With an array of detoxifying properties and an ample amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants the benefits are vast. Some of the benefits include:
-Easing the digestion process
-Curing upset stomach
-Reduce cramps
-Relieve toothache
-Minimize seasickness effects
-Mitigates pain from shingles
-Mitigates pain from osteoarthritis
-Mitigates pain from rheumatoid arthritis
-Natural remedy for fibromyalgia
Spicy Guacamole Recipe
Ingredients
3 Avocado
1 Yellow Onion, finely chopped
1/4 c Cilantro, lightly packed
1/2 Jalapeno
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 Lime, juiced
1 Red Pepper, chopped
Pinch of cayenne
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
In a large bowl prepare the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, and red pepper.
In another large bowl mash avocado until desired consistency.
Add the veggies, salt, pepper, cayenne, and lime juice and mix well.
Enjoy with some homemade chips. Thinly slice a potato and fry in a pan with enough olive oil or coconut oil to allow the slices to be slightly submerged.
Suggested: Add tomato! I think that would make it taste just as amazing.
