Guacamole Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

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

    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 in the lime juice and mix well to incorporate it into the mashed avocado.

  4. 4

    Chop and Add Vegetables

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

  5. 5

    Season the Guacamole

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.

  6. 6

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper as needed.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles or strips.

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
