Guacamole

Tortilla Chips

Method

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep 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 consistency (smooth or chunky).

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

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

  4. 4

    Mix in the Vegetables

    Add the finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Season the Guacamole

    Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste, and mix well.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Cut the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to make chips.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 8

    Fry the Chips

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

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
