Field Goal Guacamole and Touchdown Tortilla Chips

For the Guacamole

Ingredients

3 avocados

2 roma tomatoes

1/2 red onion

1 clove garlic (finely chopped)

1 bunch cilantro (roughly chopped)

1 lime (juiced)

1 jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)

Salt

Black pepper

Cumin

Directions

• Seed the tomatoes and dice them. Dice the onion into slightly smaller pieces than the tomato. Set aside.
• Remove the pits and mash the avocados. Add the lime juice to help break down the avocado and make it smooth.
• Mix tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño into the avocado mash. Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
• Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to marry.
• Serve in a chilled bowl and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.

For the Chips

Ingredients

Premade corn tortillas

Oil for frying (vegetable oil recommended)

1 Tbsp. Seasoned salt

1/2 tsp Cumin

¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper

Directions

• Fill a pot or skillet with high sides about halfway with oil. Turn the burner to medium heat and wait until the oil reaches a temperature of 350°F.
• While the oil is heating, cut the tortillas into triangles and mix the salt and spices together.
• Fry the chips until golden brown, make sure not too add too many chips at a time. This could drop the temperature of the oil and make for soggy chips.
• Place chips onto a paper towel-lined tray to drain, and sprinkle on spice mixture while the chips are still hot.
• Serve alongside guacamole.
