Sandia Margarita Recipes

SANDIA LOCA

Steps:

• Cut a small slice from the base of the watermelon to stabilize it, and then cut the watermelon in half horizontally. Cut 4 stars from the top half of the watermelon, and then save the remaining watermelon for another use.
• Cut the flesh of the pineapple into 4 stars. Cut the remaining flesh into 1-inch cubes.
• In the base watermelon, score 2 lines down the center of the flesh lengthwise, creating a central strip of watermelon. Scoop out the watermelon flesh on either side of the strip with a large spoon and cut into large chunks.
• For the fruit skewers: Thread 4 strawberries on a 6-inch wooden skewer and the remaining 4 strawberries on another 6-inch skewer. Thread each watermelon star on a 6-inch skewer. Thread each pineapple star on a 6-inch skewer.
• Put the watermelon chunks, pineapple chunks, mango slices and jicama batons in a large bowl. Add the chamoy, tajin, lemon juice and hot sauce and toss to combine. Pour the fruit into the cavities of the watermelon. Then decorate with the star skewers and the tamarind candies. Sprinkle with more tajin over the top and serve.
