Method
Guacamole Preparation
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the Avocados
Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired level of smoothness.
Add Lime Juice
Stir in the lime juice to the mashed avocados to add flavor and prevent browning.
Combine Well
Mix all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Tortilla Chips Preparation
Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, creating chip shapes.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Drain Excess Oil
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.
