Guacamole

Method

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop and Combine

    Finely chop the jalapeno, garlic, and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.

  3. 3

    Mash the Guacamole

    Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt to the mixture. Mash everything together with a fork or a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.

Pickled Radishes

  1. 4

    Prepare Radishes

    Slice the radishes thinly and place them in a jar.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Radishes

    Pour lime juice over the sliced radishes until they are completely submerged. Allow them to pickle in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Oil

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Fry Tortilla Chips

    Cut corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in the hot oil until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 8

    Season Chips

    Sprinkle the fried tortilla chips with chile powder while they are still warm.
