So far, my Mexican Fiesta Week has included the following raw, nutrient dense items:

White Nacho Cheeze

RawFried Beans

and the Edible Goddess’ Addictive Spirulina Guacamole

Now we need the “meat” in my Spicy Meat-Free Ground Beef recipe:

2 Cups Pumpkin Seeds, soaked 1 to 24 hours

1 Tablespoon hemp seeds

1 Tablespoon Unpasturized Miso of choice (Chickpea Miso in glass is the best!)

2 teaspoons medicinal mushrooms extract powder (your choice: shitake, reishi, chaga, etc)

1 teaspoon Cumin Seed or Dried Chipotle

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 medium-sized Garlic Clove, peeled

Blend in a food processor until somewhat creamy and sticky. Then add:

1/4 Cup heirloom tomato, sliced

1/4 Cup Sweet Pepper, sliced

Blend lightly, having the tomato and pepper remain in small chunks.

I will post one more Mexican Fiesta Week recipe! What type of raw dish do you want me to make with a delicious superfood twist: Mexican salad? Salsa? Tortilla? Raw Mexican Dessert? More than just one more recipe? Comment below!

…Continued from Mexican Fiesta Week part 1: RawFried Beans (Bean-free Mock Refried Pinto Bean Recipe)

Need something to add to your salad? Having a party? Need something hearty and delicious for any reason? Then make my raw dairy-free White Nacho Cheeze! You have the option of adding chia seeds (rich in beautifying omega3 fatty acids) or fresh aloe vera (rich in skin and organ-healing sulfur and immune system healing polysaccharides) to this recipe, either one makes the cheeze creamy and fluffy.

White Nacho Cheeze garnished with parsley and cayenne!

Blend the following in a high speed blender until creamy:

1 Cup Organic Brazil Nuts, soaked 1 to 24 hours

1/2 Cup Organic Pumpkin Seeds, soaked 1 to 24 hours

1/4 Cup Spring Water

Juice of 3-4 Large Organic Lemons

2 Tablespoons Organic Cold-Pressed Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons Organic Cashews, soaked 1 to 24 hours

1 teaspoon Chia Seeds OR 1 Tablespoon Fresh Aloe Vera Inner Gel

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/8 teaspoon organic jalepeno powder OR 1/4 teaspoon fresh organic jalepeno

2 medium-sized garlic cloves, peeled

If your blender does not “grab and vortex” the ingredients, add a little more spring water or lemon juice and/or use your blender’s plunger rod. Serve on salad, with organic vegetables, and/or with these:

RawFried Beans (Bean-free Mock Refried Pinto Bean Recipe)

Addictive Spirulina Guacamole

Click for Mexican Fiesta Week part 3: Spicy Meat-Free Ground Beef

This recipe really does taste like that thick mashed pinto bean dish we all love or have loved. Now you can experience the far more beautifying, living Superfood version – the perfect addition to a salad or a night of raw mexican cuisine! This recipe has the option of adding in some of the immuno-modulating and mood-lifting medicinal mushroom extracts, so if you have some, be sure to put them in.

RawFried "Beans" garnished with cilantro and cayenne

Blend in a food processor until creamy, usually a few minutes of blending:

2 1/2 Cups Organic Sunflower Seeds, soaked

1/2 Cup Organic Cold-Pressed Olive Oil

1/4 Cup Fresh Tomatoes or Sweet Pepper of choice

1 1/2 Tablespoons Sesame Tahini

1 heaping teaspoon Sea Salt

1 teaspoon Cumin Seed or Dried Chipotle

1 medium-sized garlic clove, peeled

OPTION: 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Reishi or Cordyceps Mushroom Extract Powder (I like using the Fungi Perfecti mycelium, Shaman Shack Extracts, or Surthrival’s Mushroom Extracts)

OPTION: After blending until creamy, add in 1/4 Cup chopped Organic Yellow Onion, and blend in for a few seconds, keeping the onion chunky.

This truly decadent recipe only gets better with Addictive Spirulina Guacamole!

Serve with a large raw salad made with garden or farmers market greens, or make as a snack scooped with celery or your favorite raw crackers.

If you make this often, you will grow your taste for fine mineralized cuisine, gain and keep the energy that comes with consuming the polysaccharides (slow burning healing sugars) of medicinal mushrooms and quality raw oils (slow burning, beautifying, does not stick to your ribs) of well sourced seeds and olive oil. Enjoy!
