Homemade Texas Chips With Guacamole Spread Recipes

BEST EVER HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE AND CHIPS

Steps:

• In medium bowl or molcajete, roughly mash avocados. Add onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, tomato and salt and stir together. Taste to ensure it is salted enough.
• Add optional add-ins - cumin, cayenne, pomegranate, cotija, and pepitas.
• To make homemade tortilla chips:
• In skillet, heat oil over medium high heat for about 5 minutes. It should start to smoke slightly. Add corn tortilla triangles, making sure not to crowd them. Watch carefully to see if the oil is too hot. If the chips are browning too quickly, remove from heat and turn it down. The proper oil temperature will cook them on each side for approximately 1 minute.
• Once they are a nice light golden brown color, remove from heat and place on paper towel lined plate.
• Salt the chips as soon as you remove them from the oil so the salt soaks into the chip. Eat while the chips are hot and fresh.

GAME-WINNING GUAC' WITH FRESH BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• To make the guacamole:
• In a medium bowl, coarsely mash the avocado. Lightly mix in the onion, cilantro and the lime juice. Season the guacamole liberally with salt and pepper.
• To make the chips:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush each tortilla lightly with oil. Slice the tortillas into 8ths. Using 2 baking sheets, distribute half the chips onto each sheet, making sure they are evenly spread out and not overlapping. (If the chips overlap they will not crisp in the oven.) Bake on the top rack until golden and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving bowl. Season with salt and serve immediately.
