  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (7 ounce) bag Tostitos tortilla chips (salsa verde flavored)
  • 1 cup Takis fuego chips
  • ½ cup cucumber (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 mango (peeled and cubed)
  • ½ jicama (peeled and cubed)
  • ⅓ cup Japanese peanuts (or peanuts of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons chamoy
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon tajin (or homemade chili lime seasoning)
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Arrange Chips: Spread the Tostitos tortilla chips evenly on a large serving plate to form the base of the snack, ensuring they cover the surface well for even layering.
  2. Add Crunch: Scatter the Takis fuego chips and Japanese peanuts evenly over the tortilla chips to add extra texture and a spicy, nutty flavor.
  3. Top with Fresh Produce: Layer the peeled and cubed cucumber, mango, and jicama on top of the chips and peanuts, adding refreshing and sweet elements to the dish.
  4. Dress the Tostilocos: Drizzle the chamoy and hot sauce over the assembled ingredients to bring a tangy, spicy kick and enhance all flavors.
  5. Season and Serve: Sprinkle tajin seasoning over everything for an additional citrusy, spicy finish. Serve immediately with a lime wedge to squeeze on top just before eating, adding freshness and acidity.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best sweet flavor contrast.
  • Tajin can be substituted with a mix of chili powder and lime zest if unavailable.
  • Adjust hot sauce and chamoy quantities according to your preferred spice level.
  • For a crunchier texture, chill the chips briefly before assembling.
  • This snack is best served immediately to retain the crispiness of the chips.
