  • 1 Roma tomato diced
  • 1/3 cup diced purple onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Tortilla Chips

  • 8 medium corn tortillas

How to Make Tortilla Chips

  • Start by slicing the tortillas into 8 wedges.
  • In a large heavy duty pot heat on medium-high heat. You want to add about 2-inches of oil in the pan. Heat to 350 degrees.
  • Fry the tortilla wedges in small batches, cooking for a minute on each side or until golden brown.
  • Place the cooked chips on a paper towel lined plate to soak up the excess oil from the chips.
  • Once the chips are done, sprinkle with salt, and repeat cooking more chips.

Notes

Avocado - Make sure to use fresh and ripe avocado for this recipe. Otherwise, you will find that the guacamole will lack flavor. 
Season to Taste - Feel free to season the guacamole to taste. You can always add more lime juice if you need it as well. 
Spicy - Want to spice up the flavor? Consider adding in some diced jalapeno. If you want remove the seeds to help tame the spice or add a few in for a spicy flavor. 
Tortilla chips - You can make homemade tortillas or buy them from the store. Either will work.
