Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers (field or English)
- ¼ cup Pulparindo tamarind candies
- ½ medium fresh mango
- ¼ cup Japanese-style peanuts
- ¼ cup tomato juice
- 2–3 tablespoons chamoy
- 2–3 tablespoons Tajin seasoning
- 2–3 tablespoons Valentina hot sauce
- ½ fresh lime
- 1 small bag Fuego Takis
- 1 small bag Fuego potato chips
Instructions
- Peel the cucumbers completely. Cut each cucumber into four equal pieces, ensuring each piece can stand flat. Use the end of a spoon to carefully core out the center, creating cup-shaped vessels.
- Peel the mango and cut it into very small cubes. Keep the pieces small so they fit nicely in the cucumber cups and are easy to eat.
- Dip the rim of each cucumber cup in chamoy first, then immediately dip into Tajin seasoning. This creates the signature spicy-tangy rim.
- Layer mango cubes, Japanese peanuts, and Pulparindo candies in each cucumber cup. Don’t overfill – leave room for the liquid.
- Drizzle more chamoy and Valentina hot sauce over the filled cups. Sprinkle additional Tajin on top. Pour in tomato juice and squeeze fresh lime over each cup.
- Optionally, serve with Fuego Takis and potato chips on the side for extra crunch and spice.
Notes
- Choose firm cucumbers for the best structural integrity – they’ll hold their shape better
- Make the mango cubes uniform and small for easier eating and better distribution
- Chill all ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing experience
- Adjust the chamoy and hot sauce quantities based on your spice tolerance
- Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the cucumber’s crispness
