Guacamole & Chips

Ingredients: Mission brand corn tortillas, Vegetable Oil, Sea Salt, 4 Ripe Avocados, 1 Large Garlic Clove, Salt to taste, Squeezed Juice of 1/2 Lemon, 2 Tbsp Fresh Chopped Cilantro.

Recipe: Slice avocados in half and scoop out into bowl. Add garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, salt and mix will with a fork, chopping as you mix, in order to attain a "just so" consistancy. We don't like our Guac too mushy or smooth around here. A few chunks are better.
For Home Made Chips:
Heat 2 cups Vegetable Oil in sauce pan. Stack about 20 corn tortillas and slice them into 6 equal triangles. Drop about 20 "chips" at a time, into hot oil and cook until crisp. They will change to a golden color and sizzling will slow down when they are done. Remove chips from oil, drain in collander and add salt to taste.

  1. So mission brand corn tortillas are totally gluten free? I have so much to learn. We will be gluten free starting tomorrow... I'm nervous but my son is excited and hoping it will solve some of his issues!

    1. Good luck on your gluten free lifestyle! We went gluten free a few years ago. It’s really not difficult. Here is a list of safe foods:
      All meat, fruit, veggies and rice and beans.
      Most Chex cereal is GF. It is labeled as such.
      Fruity Pebbles are GF.
      You can find GF noodles at some Walmarts, most grocery stores and certainly at Sprouts or Whole Foods Markets.
      Avoid “modified food starch” on labels, however, “modified corn starch” is safe.
      Avoid wheat flour, and barley. Very helpful website would be Celiac.com.
      I will get those recipes up on Monday for you. Happy to help you with anything in the future. Keep in touch!
