A quick and easy creamy guacamole paired with homemade crispy tortilla chips, perfect for parties and gatherings. This recipe balances fresh, wholesome ingredients with a satisfying texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for chips)
  • Pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Stack the 6 corn tortillas and cut them into 6 wedges each (total 36 chips). Toss the wedges in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and a pinch of chili powder if desired.
  2. Spread the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
  3. While the chips bake, slice the avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until creamy but still a little chunky.
  4. Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato if using. Season with salt, pepper, and ground cumin if desired.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.
  6. Spoon the guacamole into a serving bowl, garnish with extra cilantro or diced tomatoes if desired, and serve alongside the crispy chips.

Notes

Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface to prevent browning. Chips can be baked ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat chips briefly in the oven to refresh crispness. For a spicier version, add jalapeños or cayenne pepper. Avocado oil is recommended for crispier chips without overpowering flavor. Fresh lime juice helps keep guacamole vibrant and fresh.
