Tortilla chips are a classic match for guacamole and fit right into the Mexican-inspired vibe of this menu. They’re easy to make at home with just a few tortillas and a drizzle of oil. No tortillas on hand? You can use pita bread instead for a slightly thicker, heartier chip.

Yields 6 servings.

Tortilla chips:6 corn or flour tortillas, cut into triangles 2 or 3 Tbsp. olive oil ½ tsp. salt 2 tsp. garlic powder

Guacamole:2 ripe avocados ½ shallot or small red onion, finely chopped, ½ tsp. garlic powder Salt to taste Juice of ½ lemon Diced tomato or chopped cilantro (optional)

To make the chips: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut six corn or flour tortillas into triangles and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle on the spices. Bake the chips for 8 to 12 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. Let them cool. Serve with guacamole or any dip of your choice.

For the guacamole: Scoop out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference. Add in the diced shallot or red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and then drizzle the lemon juice over it. You can add some diced tomato or chopped cilantro for extra color and flavor. Serve the guacamole alongside the warm tortilla chips or save a few spoonsful to use as a topping for your taco salad.

Enjoy!
