Guacamole with Asparagus & How To Make Your Own Tortilla Chips

3 · Jul 9, 2020 ·

Guacamole with asparagus & how to make your own tortilla chips

What is it about summer that brings out my tiny chef? I’ve been cooking up body scrubs, mint margaritas and today, my favorite, guacamole. Isn’t that whole “perfect food” thing they say about avocados just an excuse to eat more guacamole? The idea of putting asparagus in my guacamole had never occurred to me until I found a “skinny guac” recipe in Self magazine. Um, wah?

It seemed like sacrilege to my beloved guacamole, but let me tell you, it is good! You will not miss the avocado – or the fat. It’s only 77 calories and 5 grams of fat per serving – how genius is that?! Now I don’t have to feel guilty about having another margarita!

We’re all big lovers of Tex Mex in our home, meaning even the kids were up for this healthy snack. There’s no way on this planet I could get them to eat asparagus. It’s too green, too bitter, too you-name-it. But chips and guac? No problemo.

The trick is steaming the asparagus and using a blender to get the creamy guac texture we all know and love. Everyone who tried this said, ‘you put what in there?’ No one could tell!

You can also add add onion or tomato to the mix if that’s your thing, but I’m a guacamole purist (and just love a 5-ingredient recipe).

How to make your own tortilla chips - HelloVeggie.co

Have you ever made your own tortilla chips? It is crazy simple. Brush a bit of olive oil on the front and back of 6 corn tortillas. Stack them together and cut into 8 triangles. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.

Bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes on each side. Check at the 5-minute mark on the second side – you don’t want them to burn – and serve with our tasty guacamole with asparagus.
