Instructions
- 1
First, let's get those nachos ready! Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into 6-8 wedges each. This is easier than it sounds, promise!
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You'll want about 1/2 inch of oil in the pan.
- 3
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add a single layer of tortilla wedges. Don't overcrowd the pan – we want crispy, not soggy!
- 4
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and delightfully crisp. Use tongs to flip them.
- 5
Remove the crispy nachos from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
- 6
Repeat with the remaining tortilla wedges until you have a beautiful pile of homemade nachos.
- 7
Now for the star of the show, the guacamole! In a medium bowl, gently mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Leave some chunks for that perfect texture.
- 8
Stir in the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), fresh lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
- 9
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Want more tang? Add a bit more lime! Crave more heat? A little extra jalapeño will do the trick.
- 10
Serve your creamy, dreamy guacamole immediately with your warm, crispy homemade nachos. Dig in and enjoy!
Pro Tips
High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to bring out deeper, smokier flavors.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
