MIXTA (pronounced meex tah') This is a mexican sea food and vegetable dish
Cooked shrimp
Octupus (optional)
Cucumbers
Cilantro
Onion
Lemon juice
Salsa
Corn tortillas or Tortilla chips
Dice cucumbers. Chop up cilantro and onions.....if you chop them together, the cilantro will stick to the onion rather than your knife and cutting board. Mix the onion and cilantro into the diced cucumbers. Mix lemon juice with salsa. If you can find the corn tortillas used for tostadas, place one on the plate....if you are just using tortilla chips you will just put them on around the finished dish. Start with a scoop of the cucumber mixture. Top this with shrimp and/or octopus and pour a little of the lemon juice/salsa over the top. I real yummy and cooling dish.
ANOTHER quick cool snack.....
Cut cucumber into spears and place in a baggie. Squeeze some lemon juice over them and sprinkle with chili powder. Keep in the fridge. Always good to snack on. Low calorie and very flavorful....with no salt.
