Ingredients
Ro-Tel Guacamole
  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted
  • 1 (10 oz.) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, drained
  • ½ cup red onion, minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1½ Tbsps. lime juice
  • ½ tsp. each cumin, salt
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
Homemade Chips
  • 10-15 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup corn oil
  • Salt and chili powder for seasoning
Instructions
Guacamole
  1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados then mix in the remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor.
Chips
  1. Heat oil in a large saute pan on medium heat about 5 minutes or so.
  2. Line a plate with paper towels and have extras ready.
  3. Stack tortillas on top of each other and cut into 4 or 6 equal sized wedges (I did 6 and they were on the small side as they shrink while they're frying- but I think they're better in preventing "double dipping" if that's a peeve of yours).
  4. Place 1 chip in the oil and if it's sizzles, the oil is ready, but don't get it smokin' hot and burn them!
  5. Place tortilla wedges in the oil and don't let them overlap each other. Make sure they're fully covered in the oil.
  6. Fry about 3 minutes or so. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, flip them over and fry until golden brown. Adjust the heat as you go.
  7. Using the tongs or slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and chili powder. Flip over and season.
  8. Add a couple of paper towels over the chips and continue to fry, in batches, the remaining tortilla wedges. Sprinkle each batch with salt and chili powder and place paper towels between the batches.
