I Made TikTok's Favorite New Healthy Snack And It's A Must-Try For EVERY Hot Sauce Lover
Meagan Hoffman

Recently I've seen several videos on my For You Page that describes how to make a popular new recipe: mini cucumbers and bell peppers topped with cream cheese, Valentina hot sauce, and Tajin seasoning.

The taste test proved that TikTok has done it again: the recipe was a huge success! The Tajin seasoning was definitely dominant on the cucumbers, but the peppers took the majority of the flavor during those bites. I would highly recommend this healthy and refreshing snack.

Secure and clean the groceries.

First, I went to Walmart, which was the only place I could find the special Tajin seasoning. After securing the groceries, I headed home and started to wash my produce.

Once the cucumbers and bell peppers were nice and clean, I sliced them in half to leave space to fill the cream cheese.

I took a spoon and scooped a generous amount of Philadelphia cream cheese into the bell peppers and on top of the cucumbers.

Be sure to pat the cucumbers dry to ensure that the cream cheese doesn't slide off of the tops.

Add the toppings.

Once the cream cheese was placed, I opened up the Valentina hot sauce (only 88 cents at Walmart). I'm sure that any hot sauce would taste fine, but I wanted to follow the TikTok recipe to a T to really get the full experience.

I blotted some hot sauce on each pepper and cucumber, ensuring that each bite would be flavorful and spicy.

Sprinkle on tajin.

The final step, and arguably the most important, was to sprinkle Tajin seasoning all over the delicious peppers and cucumbers. This part really depends on your taste, but I would recommend as much Tajin as possible.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
