Chips

Guacamole

Method

Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tortilla chips in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

Queso Dip Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Queso

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine Velveeta cheese and cream cheese. Stir until melted and smooth. Add salsa, jalapeños, ground cumin, and chili powder. Mix well and continue to heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Guacamole

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Stir in lime juice, finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning until ready to serve.
