Fresh guacamole with chips made from corn tortillas.

 

 

All you need is a handful of fresh cilantro,

 

 

some ripe avocados,

 

 

peeled

 

 

and mashed,

 

 

You need that cilantro chopped

 

 

and mixed into the mashed avocado.

 

 

If you’re a wimp and afraid of spending the whole afternoon crying just cut a few onion slices.

 

 

Mince them up and add to the avocado and cilantro.

 

 

Add lemon juice in the neighborhood of a 1/4 cup plus or minus.

 

 

season with salt and cumin to your liking.

 

 

Garnish with cherry tomatoes.

 

 

For the chips, cut 6” corn tortillas

 

 

into pieces.

 

 

heat some oil in a pan and fry them until lightly golden. I found I liked the strips better, they were easier to turn.

Oh, and don’t touch the hot spatula that was just in the hot oil! You can burn your finger that way. Just thought I’d mention that.

 

 

Serve warm, they’re very munchable.
