Plant-based Diet: The End

Today was the official last day of my plant-based diet trial and as stated in my previous post, I would like to try to keep eating this way, at least when I am at home and when I can help it. So, as a final post for the PBD, I give you... popcorn that sort of mimics this Mexican snack called Durros or Duritos. I've only seen them at flea markets and once in a great while at a Mexican grocery store. The only way I can describe them is that they are like chips (but flour), deep fried, light, airy and shaped like a wheel. You pour this spicy lime sauce into the bag and shake it up and you can't stop eating them. They are usually sold at the stands where they have all the candy that may or may not be contaminated with lead. Anyway, this is suppose to be a "healthy" version of that using popcorn.

What you need:


Air popped popcorn (naked - no butter no salt). By the way you can get air popped popcorn just with kernels and a paper lunch bag closed then put in the microwave. That's how I do it. I'm cheap.
Lime juice (doesn't have to be freshly squeezed)
Tapatio

What to do:


Stir lime juice and Tapatio in a small bowl (and you can add as much Tapatio as your tongue can handle).
Pour over the popcorn and toss. Yes some of the popcorn gets soggy so eat fast and don't pour too much. I actually do like the popcorn a little soggy.

Enjoy with a beer while watching biker dudes make some heads roll-- literally. Tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy is brutal.

  1. I'm skeptical about the popcorn in the lunch bag thing. I still prefer microwave bags of popcorn.
