1
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2
Mash the Avocados
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
3
Add Lime Juice and Seasoning
Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well.
4
Incorporate Optional Ingredients
If desired, add minced jalapeño and minced garlic for extra flavor. Mix until combined.

5
Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles.
6
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
7
Fry the Tortilla Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.
