    I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #LaurasLean campaign, sponsored by Laura’s Lean. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. #NVREVR #noantibiotics #noaddedhormones #allnatural #LaurasLean

    These baked beef flautas with avocado cream is a household favorite. An easy flauta recipe is perfect for a quick & easy dish to your next party or for this Father’s Day. Beef flauta pairs so well with a nice cold beer.

    Fun fact – Cinco de Mayo is recognized by many as a day to celebrate Mexican culture and history. Historically, the holiday celebrated the anniversary of Mexico’s victory in the Franco-Mexican War of 1862. Today, May 5th has become a day for people (especially in the US) to enjoy Mexican food, drinks and culture.

    Here’s what you’ll need:

    – 1 lb fresh shrimp

    -1/2 large cucumber

    -1/2 tomato

    -1/2 onion

    -1/2 cup cilantro

    -1 clove garlic

    -1/2 serrano chili

    -6 fresh lime

    -pinch salt

    -1 tsp black pepper seed

    -1 tbsp coco aminos

    -1 avocado

    How to prepare the shrimp: First remove the shell, tail, head, and veins then rinse. You can use frozen shrimp to make this easier as an option. Once the shrimp is prepared in a bowl add 1 cup of lime juice, set for 15 minutes or until it turns pink. The lime will naturally “cook” the shrimp.

    Let’s make this recipe:

    1. 1 lb of shrimp – peel the shell, head, tail and remove the veins. Then rinse the shrimp.

    2. Prepare seasonings – peel 1 clove of garlic. Cut serrano chili in half. In the wood mortar add garlic, serrano chili and 1 tsp of black pepper seed. Use pestle to grind. Then add 6 fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp of coco aminos, pinch of salt in the wood mortar & mix all the seasonings.

    3. In a deep bowl add prepared shrimp and seasonings. Let it sit for 15 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.

    4. Prepare vegetables – peel cucumber skin, remove seeds and cut into dice. Cut tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Add the vegetables with the shrimp and seasonings.

    5. Top this with fresh avocado, lime juice, hot sauce.

    6. Serve ceviche with Crunchmaster Avocado Toast crackers
