Guacamole

Tortilla Chips

Method

Guacamole

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired level of creaminess.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice and mix well to prevent the avocados from browning.

  4. 4

    Chop and Add Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, tomato, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Add them to the bowl.

  5. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then mix everything together until combined.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.

Tortilla Chips

  1. 7

    Prepare Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges.

  2. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  3. 9

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 10

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.

  5. 11

    Serve

    Serve the tortilla chips warm alongside the freshly made guacamole.
