1
Prepare the Chips
Start by cutting the corn tortillas into triangular shapes to create chips. You can cut each tortilla into 6 triangles.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

5
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
6
Mash the Avocados
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
7
Add Lime Juice
Stir in the lime juice to prevent the avocado from browning and add a zesty flavor.
8
Mix in Other Ingredients
Add the diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well until combined.
9
Taste and Adjust
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt to taste.
