Chips and Guacamole 1-24-12


Normally when I buy avocados they aren't ripe for several days and then I keep forgetting to check them until they are almost rotten! But that wasn't the problem this time...this time, I forgot the chips. So I did what any desperate person would do at 10:30 p.m. No, I didn't send my husband to the store, I made them! First I made the flour tortillas, which takes a little time because the dough has to "rest" so you can stretch it easily. It also helps to have someone flattening out the dough while the other person cooks them. After we made the flour tortillas, we cut them in quarters and fried them in a little olive oil. These are THE BEST chips ever!! They're super cheap, but a little time consuming. But, my avocado was running out of time and I really wanted some guacamole. I doubt the cost of this snack equaled $2.00.
