Serve this authentic Mexican guacamole using restaurant-style tortilla chips. If you want to make real tortilla chips in home, it’s fast and simple to do! Simply slice a small heap of corn tortillas into 4 triangles and fry them in cooking oil on medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer cooked tortilla chips to a platter or cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Blot excess oil off.

How to select the best avocados

At the supermarket you will see that there are various kinds of avocados. For producing the best guacamole you will want to choose Haas Avocados. The avocados you use for this recipe should be perfectly ripe. Here’s how to choose the perfect avocado for guacamole: When a Haas avocado is under-ripe it’s green in color and incredibly firm. A nearly ripe avocado is green-purple and slightly firm. A perfectly ripe avocado — the type you would like for this recipe — is purple-black in color and yields to gentle pressure. An over-ripe avocado is black and mush
