Scrumptious with a bit of hummus and a drizzle of Sriracha or Tapatio(not raw, but so good)!!!

Very yummy! I used less pumpkin seeds (just because I didn't have that many) and bulked it up with half an avocado and some overripe sweet plantains...yum!

OH MY! I had this last night for dinner and it was great. I didn't have a grater (go figure) so I used a pealer and then chopped everything really fine and added some mushrooms to it. The flavors of the jalepeno, cumin and chilli powder were to die for (heat is the best).I LOVED THIS DISH! Thank you so much!!

You could chop the zucchini instead of grating it. That could make the mix heartier without the seeds. My guy wants to try cactus in it.

This looks great, but, I am trying to limit fats, which includes seeds as well as nuts. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for your kind words. I hope you all enjoy! BTW..I accidentally put 2 lrg jalapenos in there twice..it should only be in there once. xoxox

What are pepitas? I like nuts, but this is refreshing to have another option.
