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

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

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice and mix well to incorporate, which will also help prevent browning.

  4. 4

    Chop and Add Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño pepper, and fresh cilantro. Add them to the bowl with the avocado mixture.

  5. 5

    Season the Guacamole

    Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly and taste. Adjust seasoning to your preference.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles (like a pizza).

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 8

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with sea salt while still warm.
