A little botana to share

Of course I cracked the code to street food already! Im not gonna waste precious pesos paying someone else to make us junk food!!

Ingredients:
Doritos (nacho or the black spicy bag)
Cucumber
Jicama
Peanuts (Japoneses if you are in MX)
Carrot
Chamoy
Salsa Valentina or Botanera
Miguelito (the powdered chili mix)

Feel free to add or leave out as you see fit. They sell them with cuervitos (thats not the right word... But we dont eat them so I can never remember the word- the white jelly slimy things?) and also right in the Dorito bag here in good ole Mexico City.

May I add my inlaws have had these things their whole lives and I had my first bag this past month and have already replicated them at home? Yes, the inlaws approved of my copy cat version. I win again!

      I am sure you will be able to find them for sure! The Salsa Botanera is a liquid chile, red, kinda like tabasco (but nit the same) . Miguelito (the one labeled tajin) is a powered mix, and the chamoy is a red liquid, but a deeper red than the botanera... Kinda a maroon color with flecks in it. Its kinda shiny LOL .

      I am so glad you found us too! Not that our life is super interesting, but.... <3
