Raw Corn Chips with Lime and Cilantro

Corn is in season and so are salsa ingredients!

Gather your ingredients. Here I have a lime (orange skinned), jalapeño ,onion, garlic, corn and a variety of peppers some mild. (Not pictured are salt and cilantro.)

It is all so easy, you don't need a recipe. All that is required are the ingredients you choose to use along with a food processor and a food dehydrator.

I started by processing garlic, onion, and lime. After that was pureed. I added all sorts of wonderful peppers and pureed that as well. And then comes the corn! Cut the corn from the cob and puree. I guess all of this could be added and just pureed at once. I seem to like to do it in stages.

Oh yes, add a little sea salt and cilantro and taste. If it taste good pureed then it will taste great when dried.

Once everything is combined I am likely to mix in a cup or so of fresh ground flax seed (meal). I grind as needed as flax meal goes rancid quickly and loses it's omega-3 goodness. After the final taste test and adjustments I then spread on my drying teflex drying sheets and place in the dehydrator and score to the desired shape and size. I slow cook at 104 degrees until it is crisp to the break.

Meanwhile I am busy making fresh non-cooked (raw) salsa. Just cut and dice and combine. I think we could guess (or backward engineer from your favorite salsa) our chosen ingredients. I always enjoy using lime and cilantro along with tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, onion and other neat and available ingredients (peppers are in full swing at the markets now). Guacamole is simply the salsa combined with fresh avocados. Salt to taste.

Fresh Chips, salsa, and avocado!

There you have it! (Raw) chips and guacamole is a full and very healthy meal! Here below is a simple bell pepper bowl which I eat when I finish the guacamole

Yum, yum!
