Guacamole Salsa
What do you get when you combine 2 of my favorite foods in the entire world? It’s Guacamole Salsa, or Guacalsa, or Salsamole. Whatever it is, it’s freaking delicious!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the Chips
- Vegetable Oil
- 5-6 Small Corn Tortillas
- ½ teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon McCormick Hot Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
For the Guacamole Salsa
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- ½ teaspoon McCormick Red Pepper Flakes
- ⅓ cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 lime juiced
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the Chips:
- Cut the tortillas into 6 triangles each.
- Add the vegetable oil to a heavy bottom pan over high heat, about ½ inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add a few of the tortilla triangles at a time and fry for about 1 minute on each side until they are crisp.
- Meanwhile, combine the salt, McCormick Garlic Powder and McCormick Hot Paprika in a small bowl and set aside.
- Remove the chips from the oil and transfer to a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt mixture and let cool to room temperature.
For the Guacamole Salsa
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh onto a cutting board. Cut the avocado into [¼] inch pieces and transfer the avocado to the bowl.
- Add the diced tomato, red onion, red pepper flakes and lime juice. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
I highly recommend frying your own chips, but you can also serve this with your favorite type from the store or some veggies.
