Makes a heaping 1 1/2 cups, serving 4 to 6
8 corn tortillas
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
3 ripe Hass avocadoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely smashed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 large tomato, cut into small dice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
3/4 teaspoons salt
Adjust oven rack to upper- and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tortillas in a single layer on 2 large cookie sheets. Brush both sides of each tortilla with oil and generously sprinkle with salt. Bake, switching pan positions at 8 minutes, until crisp and golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Mix avocado with remaining ingredients. Serve with whole tortilla chips, allowing everyone to break off and dip chips.

Fantastic!! My surfer is a guacamole fanatic he would love this recipe. But those chips would be mine, all mine. He could go get his own 🙂

Never thought of serving the tortillas whole! I’m trying it this weekend — Love that!
Amber says
This is flat out the best guacamole recipe ever. As a Texan, I’m slightly ashamed that the English dude has me beat. As his friend, I’m just grateful he’ll make it on request.

I am all over this. I am should be ashamed to say that I have been doing this for some time, only spraying my corn tortillas with olive oil Pam. (Every time I whip them up I force the concern over what I am actually doing to the back of my mind.) Why the real EVOO never popped into my mind is beyond me…
THX Andy!

You had me at fried tortillas!! Love this with guacamole!! Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend 🙂
Tanya says
Do you seed the tomatoes before chopping them? Thanks.
Pam says
Hi Tanya,
Good question. Tomato seeds don’t bother me–especially in this small quantity–so I wouldn’t bother.
Tracy says
Mmm, yum! My personal preference for guac is to leave out the tomato, but everything else sounds phenomenal!
Maria says
What a great snack!
Jen @ How To: Simplify says

I love the healthy version of tortilla chips, and I can never get enough guacamole!
