Ingredients:
~Spicy "Refried Beans"~
2 cups sunflower seeds and/or walnuts (soaked at least 6 hrs- rinse once)
1 cup sundried tomatoes (reconstituted in filtered water-do not throw out this water. It's yummy and a great salt substitute.)
2 Tbl Organic Cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive made with LOVE (Look for the story on the package! Do the right thing--you'll taste the difference.)
1/4-1/2 cup filtered water
2 tsp Ancho chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp tsp--or til it meets your fiery desire--cayenne pepper
1) Pulse nuts and seeds in a food processor with sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and the spices. Leave a little texture to them.
2) Add more water and/or the water from the sun-dried tomatoes as needed to get consistency you like.
Garnish with fresh green onion, cilantro and jalapeno slices.
~Guacamole~
(Key to great guac, don't mess with it! Let the avocados shine through and of course start out with the best ingredients EVER!)
3-5 Avocados (count on each person eating a half)
1/2 cup red onion, minced
3 Tbl cilantro, minced
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (you could also add reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes)
2 tsp jalapeno pepper, minced
2 Tbl Lime juice
1) Add avocados to the bowl and drizzle over the lime juice.
2) Add chopped ingredients.
3) Combine with a wooden spoon.
~Spicy Tomato Sauce~
3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, (reconstituted in filtered water)
2 cups filtered water
2 Tbl Olive Oil
1/2 of a jalapeno, chopped
handful of cilantro (if you don't have a vitamix, you'll likely need to chop this before adding it to the blender.)
1) Add all the ingredients to the blender pitcher and blend. You may need to add a little more water get the consistency how you want, but that's basically it.
The finale:
Arrange these ingredients on a leaf of romaine and serve with chopped jalapeno, green onion and diced red onion, cilantro and sunflower sprouts.
And Enjoy!! This one is great for dinner parties :)
