How to Make Tosti-Locos (A Mexican chips and peanuts snack)

If you ever take a trip to Tijuana, Mexico and don't purchase a bag of tostilocos from one of the local vendors, you haven't lived. This snack is both refreshing because of the jicama, and the cucumbers. It satisfies that nacho lover as well. It has it all and kids love this around their teens. It's cheap, easy, and semi nutritious with the veggies...ha ha!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tostito brand tortilla chips
• Cucumber (1" by 1" pieces)
• Jicama (1" by 1" pieces)
• Peanuts
• Two limes
• Hot sauce, I like Louisina Gem Habanero Pepper Sauce
• (Optional Pickled Pork Skins) everyone but me loves these

1. Lay a small bag of unflavored Doritos on its side and slice it open with a knife. You will be using the bag for a container. It works like a bowl.

2. Place the cucumbers, jicama, pork skins, and peanuts inside the bag and mix them up.

3. Squeeze the two limes over the contents of the bag.

4. Pour enough salsa or pepper sauce over the contents until it moistens the ingredients. Be careful about how hot the sauce is. If you are sensitive to heat, use a mild brand.

5. Grab a spoon and enjoy! The mixture of flavors is incredible and it tastes especially great on a hot day, with a beer.

on 10/23/2008 You forgot the Chamoy sauce. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamoy) You can buy salsa de chamoya en most stores that sell Mexican products. It's got a sweet/sour taste. The peanuts usually used are what are called Japanese peanuts in Mexico, just a regular old peanut coated with a shell that is flavored with soy sauce. Also found in stores that sell Mexican products, usually with the candy.
