SUN, SEA, SNACK!

So you have arrived in Bali, you have got a cold Bintang in your hand and what’s missing? Good snack to be munched by the pool.

Don’t settle with the rows of unhealthy snack easily found in the mini marts. Grab a bag of good quality corn tortillas and upgrade your snack time with homemade Guacamole and Pico de Gallo.

Guacamole
2 Ripe Avocadoes
Half of Medium sized Tomato, small diced
1 Tablespoon Onion, small diced
1 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 Fresh Limes

Half the ripe avocado and take out the pit, carefully, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork until it is soft and add lime juice to prevent the bright green color turning brown. Add the other ingredients and season with salt and pepper. It is as easy as 1 2 3.






Pico de Gallo
5 Ripe Red Tomatoes deseed and chopped
2 Tablespoons Onion, chopped
1 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 Fresh Limes
Chilly as desired

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. For extra heat, mix in few slices of Thai chilies in the bowl.

Open that bag of corn tortillas and start scooping out fresh guacamole and pico de gallo.
