Homemade Guacamole and Chips (2)

Hosting a Fiesta with Homemade Guacamole and Chips

May 5, 2020 · In: Recipes, Side Dishes

One of our favorite days has finally arrived, and it is one that is filled with lots of tacos! There is no wonder that we will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo this year. If you were to ask my son what his most favorite food in the entire world was, he would quickly answer with:

Taco meat and cheese!

Homemade Guacamole and Tortilla Chips

Celebrating with a little fiesta.

So here we are celebrating that one day of the year in the States that is set aside for all those who love Mexican cuisine. What better timing than it landing on Taco Tuesday this year? You better believe we are going all out this Taco Tuesday! Here is how we are hosting our own fiesta at home and with some homemade guacamole and tortilla chips. There is obviously going to be lots of tacos, salsa, and queso as well. We can’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo without that trio. Oh and some churro cupcakes!

Easy to plan.

I literally planned our fiesta party in less than 1 day. All of the Party Supplies is from our local Party Time store. I called and they hand picked my items while I was on the phone. Then drove up and picked up my party essentials. That easy y’all 🙂

Holy moly for some homemade guacamole!

Have I mentioned my obsession for guacamole? I love avocados, so it is no wonder I would love me some guacamole. Store bought is good, depending on the brand, but it can have that ‘store bought’ taste due to all the added preservatives to keep it from turning brown while sitting on the shelf. Cinco de Mayo calls for more than that ‘store bought’ taste. Here is how you can make your own guacamole at home!

No better way to host a fiesta than with some homemade guacamole. Fresh homemade guacamole is even better served with homemade tortilla chips. With avocados, roma tomatoes, white onion, shredded cheese, and a splash of lime juice, your fiesta will be ready to go!

  • With either a fork or a chopper, puree the avocados to the consistency you want your guacamole. This is when the ripeness of the avocados is important. If they are not ripe, you will not have any guacamole. It will be a mess of dip with not very ripe avocados!

  • Add the spices to the mashed avocadoes, lime juice squeezed from 1 lime, and the diced tomato, onion, and shredded cheese.
    mxing the guacamole
  • Let the guacamole chilll in the refridgerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

  • Carefully add the tortillas one at a time with a batch no more than 5-6 triangles at a time. Cook the tortilla triangles about 20-30 seconds per side. Once the are lightly brown, place on a paper towel lined cookie sheet to dry. Sprinkle them with salt.

Pergola from @ShelterLogicDirect ✨ Y’all, its triangular shape and contemporary design is perfect for our backyard patio and pool space. Even better is that the pergola’s frame is made of aluminum, making it rustproof and highly corrosive resistant!
