Guacamole and Chips
Guacamole and Chips are a timeless duo, bringing together creamy, zesty guacamole and crispy, golden tortilla chips. My homemade recipe takes things up a notch with freshly fried corn chips and a guacamole packed with bright, bold flavors.

Equipment
- Large Frying Pan with Deep Sides
- Slotted Spoon (heat safe)
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Corn Chips:
- 10 corn tortillas cut into 6 pieces
- vegetable oil 1” high
- flaky sea salt
Guacamole:
- 4-5 avocados peeled and pit removed
- ½ small red onion minced
- ½ bunch cilantro minced
- 1-2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Fill a large pan with deep sides with about 1 inch high with oil. Prep a surface area with paper towel for the excess oil.
- Heat oil between 350F-375F. Fry corn tortilla pieces for about 1 minutes, or until they start to turn a light gold color (note: you do not have to flip them). Do not
- With a heat-safe slotted spoon remove from the chips from the oil and place onto the prepared surface. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow them to air dry.
- Then prepare your guacamole by adding avocados into a medium bowl and mash them with a fork.
- Add red onion, cilantro, tomatoes, lime juice and salt as listed, or to your flavor preferences, and mix well. Add additional salt and lime juice as needed.
- Serve with chips and enjoy.
Notes
- Look for avocados that yield slightly when pressed but aren’t overly soft. Avoid overcrowding pan, fry in batches, for even cooking and crispiness.
- Be sure to add the salt to the chips when they are still warm. This keeps the salt from just falling off.
- Leave some chunks in the guacamole for the best texture.
- Adjust lime juice and salt to your preference before serving your guacamole.
- Guacamole is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored with a layer of plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
