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

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until you reach your desired level of creaminess.

  3. 3

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour in the lime juice and mix well to prevent the avocado from browning.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. Add them to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Mix until well combined.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Corn Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles to form chips.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium 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 transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
