Guacamole

Tortilla Chips

Method

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

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

  2. 2

    Mash the Avocados

    Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice and mix well to combine. This will help to keep the avocado from browning.

  4. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the avocado mixture and stir until well combined.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into wedges (like a pizza) or into strips.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 8

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste while still warm.
