Ingredients

4 ripe avocadoes (peeled and seed removed)
3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup diced fresh onions

Ingredients

7 cups skinless unsalted peanuts (do not use roasted peanuts)
Salt to taste
5 garlic cloves (minced)
17 small red chiles (hot)
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. olive oil

Directions

In a frying pan heat the olive oil, garlic, onion powder, chiles and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add the peanuts to the mixture and mix well to coat the peanuts completely. Preheat the oven to a 300 degrees Farenheit and place the peanut mixture on a shallow baking pan (covered with aluminum foil). Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the peanuts over and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

If you have leftover spicy peanuts keep them in a well-sealed container.
