Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into quarters to create triangle-shaped chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.

Guacamole

  1. 5

    Prepare the Avocados

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

  2. 6

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).

  3. 7

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in the lime juice, chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado.

  4. 8

    Mix Well

    Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
