PALMITOS AGUACHILE VERDE (CHILE-LIME HEARTS OF PALM)
If you love acid and heat, this is the dish for you. Aguachile, which is a Sinaloa-style ceviche, is made here with serrano chiles and an abundance of lime juice. That combination works perfectly with delicate palmitos, hearts of palm, that have a just-right balance in texture between creaminess and firmness. Pick up the nori sheets in the snack aisle to add just a bit of saltiness that replicates the briny ocean flavors of seafood-based aguachiles. Serve in a bowl with a generous side of tostadas or tortilla chips - and don't forget the micheladas.

Steps:
- Combine the hearts of palm, red onion, cucumber and avocado in a large bowl and gently toss together.
- Combine the serrano chiles, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, nori sheets (if using), and a pinch of salt in a blender and blend until completely smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Pour into the hearts of palm mixture and gently fold until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator until the onion and cucumber slightly soften, about 15 minutes. This dish is traditionally served right away, but can be covered and refrigerated for a day to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve with tortilla chips or tostadas.
