TIPS FOR MAKING MASA FOR PUPUSAS 🫓 Making masa isn't super difficult but you'll definitely need to look out for a few key things to ensure the consistency is just right ✨ You're looking for masa that is cohesive, soft and pliable. For approximately 20 pupusas, I like to use 4 cups of masa harina and about 3 cups of water. I add the masa harina to a very large bowl and gradually add in the water as I knead the dough. I continue adding water and kneading until I reach the perfect consistency. The masa dough should be soft and malleable, similar to soft playdough. If it feels too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet or sticky, sprinkle in additional masa harina to adjust the consistency. A quick test my mom taught me as a way to know it's ready is by adding a ball of masa to the palm of my hand and squeezing it. If it effortlessly and smoothly squeezes out through the side of my fist, then it's ready! After kneading, cover the masa with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow for it to fully hydrate. When you're ready to form your pupusas, wet your hands with a little bit of water or oil to keep the masa from sticking to your hands, then flatten a small portion of the masa, stuff if with your filling of choice, enclose the filling with the masa and flatten it out once again. Place the pupusa over a very hot skillet and allow it to cook for about 3 minutes on each side. You'll know when the first side is ready because the edges will begin to change color and look more cooked. If at this point you also notice some cracks along the edges of your pupusa, this just means the masa is dry and you need to add a little extra water to your masa. And if the masa is overly sticky when forming your pupusas, it may just need a little extra masa harina. I hope you find these tips helpful!

MANGO DESSERT NACHOS 🥭🧡✨ Día de los Muertos is around the corner and I wanted to create something that was beautiful, delicious and perfect for the ofrenda. I partnered with @tastemirancho and used their Organic Flour Tortillas for the chips. They're easily one of my favorite tortillas and it’s a brand that's been rooted in authentic Latino cooking for generations, which felt right for a recipe like this. The tortillas get cut into triangles, baked until crispy, and tossed in cinnamon sugar while they're still warm for the perfect base for this recipe 🤤 The cempasúchil petals get ground down and folded right into the whipped cream, which gives it the most delicate floral flavor. Cempasúchil (or marigolds) are the flowers used to guide our loved ones home, so incorporating it in the actual dessert feels so special. To serve, top the cinnamon sugar chips with the warm mango, whipped cream and more cempasúchil petals. Food has always been how we keep memories alive, and this one is such a beautiful way to do that 🧡 Head to thisisavocado.com for the full recipe and follow for more delicious recipes like this one! #diadelosmuertos #cempasuchil #tastemirancho #dessertrecipes

PEPIÁN DE RES 🇬🇹🍲✨ Pepián is one of Guatemala's oldest dishes and also its national dish. Its roots trace back to the Maya-Kaqchikel people, before Europeans ever set foot in the Americas, when it was served at major religious and political ceremonies. You can make it with chicken, pork, or turkey, but I really love how savory the beef version is 🤤 The beef simmers for hours until it's fall apart tender, then you build the sauce from dry roasted veggies, toasted chilies, pepitas, sesame seeds, and a charred tortilla all blended together. All the toasting and charring is what gives pepián its deep, layered flavor, so it's a step you don't want to skip. Then just serve it with rice and homemade tortillas, and enjoy!

The chia seeds are loaded with fiber and omega-3s, the turmeric helps with inflammation, and the protein powder makes these filling enough to actually hold you over. There's also a tiny pinch of black pepper in there, which sounds random but it helps activate the turmeric in your body and helps it absorb better!
