Clean Eating Chips and Guacamole


Guacamole Ingredients:

4 ripe avocados
1 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice
2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

Step 1 – Remove skins, and place avocados in a large mixing bowl, along with all other ingredients.

Step 2 – Mash all ingredients together until you reach your desired consistency.

Tortilla Chips Ingredients:

1 package corn tortillas (I use Traders Joe’s Corn Tortillas – the cleanest I’ve found so far)
1/2 salt
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
Lemon juice
1 tsp. olive oil

Directions:

Step 1 – Take one bag of small corn tortillas and cut them into 4ths or 8ths. (Please check the ingredients on the tortillas you buy. Not all tortillas are created equal!)

Step 2 – Cover a cookie sheet with a VERY light spray of olive oil.

Step 3 – Lay out your tortilla pieces so that none of them cover each other.

Step 4 – Spray your tortilla pieces with a VERY light spray of olive oil.

Step 5 – Sprinkle with lemon (or lime) juice, garlic and salt.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F. until crispy (About 15-25 minutes, depending on your oven).
