Information
Course: cold appetizer, hors d'oeuvre
Total time: under 30 minutes
Skill level: Moderate
Cost: Inexpensive
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2–3 fresh green chilies, to taste
- 2 limes
- 3 ripe avocados
- A large bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves picked
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 flour tortillas
- 3 lugs olive oil
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, remove and discard the seeds from the chillies; squeeze the juice from the limes; peel the avocados, remove their stones and chop them; and roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves.
To make the guacamole, mash or blend the chillies, lime juice, avocado and cilantro until creamy but a bit chunky. Season with salt and pepper, and pour into a serving dish.
Brush the tortillas with the oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Lay them on a baking sheet–-don’t overlap them too much--and bake for 5 minutes until golden brown, then leave them to cool. Break into wedges if you like, and serve the crispy tortillas with the guacamole.
