Healthy Guacamole Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large, ripe avocado
- 1 tomato, chopped into little pieces
- 2 trimmed & sliced spring onions
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tsp chipotle paste (optional but this goes great in a tomato sauce too!!)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt & pepper to season
- Tortilla chips to serve*
Instructions
- Peel, destone and mash 1 ripe avocado in a bowl with a fork
- Add the diced tomato, trimmed and sliced spring onions, chilli flakes, chopped coriander leaves, chipotle paste (this stuff smells amazing!!) and the juice of 1 lime
- Mix together and season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with coriander (optional)
For a smoother guacamole simply blend one avocado with the lime juice before mixing in 3-4 diced cherry tomatoes, 2 sliced spring onions, salt, pepper, optional chipotle paste and chilli flakes (also optional).
Notes
*To make your own tortilla chips: Preheat your oven to 180 C, fan 160 C, gas 4. Brush 2 flour tortillas (I used wholemeal for added fibre) with 1/2 tbsp rapeseed oil, before cutting them into triangles. Pop them onto 2 baking trays in a single layer and cook in the oven for 8-10 mins, until golden and crispy.
A 1/4 of the tortilla chips provide 99 calories, 49g carbs, 3g fat & 8g protein.
