Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| Corn tortillas | |
| 1 | Avocado |
| 3 | Tablespoons mayonnaise |
| 3 | Small onions |
| 1 | Tomato |
| 1 | Jalapeno pepper |
| 2 | Cups Monterey Jack cheese |
| 2 | Cups cheddar cheese |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oil: Begin by heating 1 inch of oil in an electric skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Fry Tortilla Wedges: While the oil is heating, slice the corn tortillas into wedges. Carefully fry the tortilla wedges in batches until they turn a glorious golden brown. Once fried to perfection, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
-
Prepare Guacamole: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth. Add in the mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, diced tomato, and sliced jalapeno pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a creamy and flavorful guacamole.
-
Assemble Snacks: Lay out the fried tortilla wedges on ungreased baking sheets. Spoon a generous dollop of the prepared guacamole onto each tortilla wedge, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of Monterey Jack cheese followed by cheddar cheese over the guacamole-topped tortillas, ensuring each one is generously coated with cheesy goodness.
-
Broil to Perfection: Place the baking sheets loaded with tortilla snacks under the broiler, positioning them about 3-4 inches away from the heat source. Allow them to broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and irresistibly melted, creating a golden crust.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly, remove the baking sheets from the oven. Serve the Guacamole Tortilla Snacks immediately, allowing your guests to indulge in the irresistible combination of crispy tortillas, creamy guacamole, and gooey melted cheese.
These delectable snacks are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven, making them the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any gathering or celebration. With their vibrant flavors and easy preparation, they’re guaranteed to become a new favorite in your recipe collection. So gather your ingredients, fire up the fryer, and get ready to savor the irresistible taste of homemade Tex-Mex goodness! π₯π§πΆοΈ
