- 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Ketchup
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Jicama, peeled

- 3 European Cucumbers

Make the Mexican BBQ Sauce
In a toaster oven, under a broiler, or on a grill, place the tomatillos and tomatoes onto a sheet pan or baking dish and broil until slightly blackened. Place agave syrup into a large sauce pan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add blackened tomatillos and tomatoes, tomato paste, smoked paprika, vinegar, ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of water. Cook at a low simmer, covered, for 40 minutes, adding additional water if needed to keep mixture saucy, until all ingredients are soft. Puree until smooth in a blender. Taste and add additional salt if needed.
Fruit & Vegetable Cups
To prepare the fruit and vegetable cups, cut jicama, green mango, cucumbers, and carrots into sticks about 1/2 inch square by 3-4 inches long. Place into individual cups to serve.
Bake The Impossible Chicken Nuggets
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange frozen nuggets on baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes or until golden brown.
Fry The Tiny Fries
While the Impossible Chicken Nuggets are baking, prepare the shoestring fries. Use a mandolin to cut the potatoes into shoestrings and then place in water until ready to use. Preheat oil to 375°F, drain the shoestrings and dry in a clean dish towel or paper towel. In small batches, fry the shoestring fries to golden brown. Remove with a slotted strainer and place onto paper towels to drain.
