    1 lb chapulines

    3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped

    1 serrano chile, seeded and diced

    1/2 of an onion, chopped

    1/2 cup of oil for frying

    salt to taste

    Preparation:

    You will need to pull the wings and legs off of each chapuline. Then heat the oil in a shallow pan and saute the garlic, chile and the onions until the onions are translucent. With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the onions, chile and the garlic from the oil, leaving the oil in the pan. Saute the chapulines in the oil until they are brown and crispy. Remove the chapulines and drain them well, on papertowels. Srpinkle salt over the top, and then squeeze some lime over them. You can enjoy them as a snack or use as a filling for tacos.
