Spicy Mexican Flax Crackers/Chips
Serves 4-6 depending on what you use it for.
These are a delicious replacement for Mexican Chips. Wonderful with any mexican food – salsa, sunflower seed mock bean dip, taco salad, etc. A GREAT way to eat more Flax Seeds & get more OMEGA 3s! YUMMY!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flax Seeds, Place in mixing bowl & cover with water
- ½ cup Sun Dried Tomato Paste, Made by soaking sundried tomatoes covered with water in a jar & then pureeing.
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- ½ teaspoon Chili Powder
- ½ teaspoon Coriander Powder
- ½ teaspoon kelp
- 3 dashes chipotle or cayenne powder
- ¼ cup Freshly chopped cilantro leaves (optional)
Preparation
Put Flax seeds in mixing bowl with enough water to cover them. Let stand for 15-30 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Then add all other ingredients & mix well. On non-stick dehydrator sheet (or lightly oiled with coconut oil if you don’t use non-stick) spread mixture evenly & score into “chips” for easier break apart when dry. Dehydrate for about 8 hours at 118 degrees or less. Then flip over on to mesh dehydrator sheet to finish drying. Dehydrate until crispy. Drying time will vary depending on thickness of cracker/chip, type of dehydrator used, moisture level in your air, etc. ENJOY!

My mom has owned our “old round cheapo dehydrator” for almost 20 years and hasn’t worn it out yet (the quality was probably better back then). But my grandma just bought us an Excalibur that we’re looking forward to trying.

Hi, do you think I could accomplish this in the oven on warm? And, I can’t do tomatoes so I’m wondering what to substitute.

Hi Wendy, I guess, based on your dietary restrictions, you might substitute some other veggie pulp/puree for the tomatoes & just add more seasonings, including some salt, to taste. As far as the oven goes, if you know your temperature would be low enough & if you have good air circulation in it, you might be able to accomplish it in your oven. Don’t know for sure though, since I never tried it that way. Guess you’ll have to experiment and let us know the results! Best Wishes. :)
