Guacamole

Tortilla Chips

Method

Guacamole

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe 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 avocado until you reach your desired level of creaminess. Some prefer it chunky while others like it smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice and Salt

    Add the lime juice and salt to the mashed avocados. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Gently fold in the diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeño.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as needed.

Tortilla Chips

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to create chips.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 8

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Chips

    While still warm, sprinkle the fried chips with salt to taste.
