Guacamole

Tortilla Chips

Method

Guacamole Preparation

  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 a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess, leaving some chunks if preferred.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice over the mashed avocado to prevent browning and add flavor.

  4. 4

    Chop and Mix Other Ingredients

    Finely chop the red onion, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. Add them to the avocado mixture along with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 5

    Cut the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to create chips.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 8

    Season the Chips

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