Guacamole

Method

Guacamole

  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 to your desired level of creaminess. Leave some chunks for texture if you like.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice and mix well to combine. This will add flavor and help prevent the avocados from browning.

  4. 4

    Mix in Other Ingredients

    Add the chopped cilantro, red onion, minced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to your liking.

Tortilla Chips

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles to create chip shapes.

  2. 7

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.

  3. 8

    Fry Tortilla Chips

    Add the tortilla triangles in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
