Guacamole Witch Tortilla Bowls

Guacamole Witch Tortilla Bowls {Recipe}


Ingredients:
  • Blue and yellow corn tortilla chips
  • Avocados
  • Lime
  • Tomato
  • Sliced olives
  • Sour Cream
  • Tortillas – any kind

Directions:
  • Cut the tortilla into four wedges.
  • Place one wedge into a muffin tin and press the tortilla to the bottom.
  • Place more more wedge into the tin to create a bowl.
  • Trim the edges off the top of the tortillas.
  • This is how they will look when they’re ready to bake.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Spoon sour cream into a plastic bag and cut off the corner – just a little bit!
  • Make up the guacomole using your favorite recipe, or you can just mash up the avocados and squeeze in some fresh lime juice like I did. Spoon the guacomole into the bowls and use a blue corn chip for the hat. Yes blue chips are really close to black :) Can you see how they look like a witch hat??
  • Use the olives for eyes, the tomatoes for lips, and break off a corner of a yellow corn chip for the nose. I used sour cream for hair. My witches are old!

Homemade Flour Tortilla Chips {#Recipe}

Homemade Flour Tortilla Chips {#Recipe}


 

Ingredients:
  1. Flour Tortillas
  2. Frying Oil {Vegetable, Canola, Peanut, etc}
  3. Salt {Optional}

Directions:




  • Preheat the oil to 375 degrees. Stack tortillas and cut into strips or wedges.  I use about 1 tortilla per person plus 1-2 extra.  These chips are seriously addicting so make more than you think you’ll need.
  • Add a handful of tortilla wedges at a time, turning over when golden brown.

  • Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels while you finish the remaining batches.  This is where you season with salt if you would like to.  I personally find the chips don’t need salt but that’s personal preference.
  • If you are making strips {perfect for Chicken Tortilla Soup!}, they cook very fast so keep an eye on them!
  • Depending on how many batches you are doing, you can keep the chips warm in a 200 degree oven while finishing up.
  • To bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place tortilla strips or wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
