Guac and Roll with these Easy to Make Guacamole Chips
I've recently noticed that there are so many people who claim to love guacamole, yet not enjoy avocados; these guacamole chips are for you!
I am a true avocado fangirl; I could eat them every meal for the rest of my life and never get sick of the taste, texture, color - anything about this addictive food. I am able to see how some people have a problem with the texture of avocados, but that doesn't mean they should cut them out of their lives completely.
There are so many ways to blindly consume food items by "sneaking" them into other dishes: kale/spinach in smoothies, cauliflower in mac and cheese, applesauce in brownies, chickpeas in cookie dough, etc.
What is the one definite way people will always eat their vegetables? In fry or chip form!
Many recipes of avocado fries with breadcrumbs have already been done, so I thought it would attempt to tackle the chip. I knew that the recipe had to include other "buffers" in it (such as tomatoes, cheese, and red onion), as people really do feel repulsed by avocados, yet adore the flavors and texture of guacamole. Guacamole is still the predominant flavor in this recipe, but it is presented in a way where the "avocado texture" is no longer overpowering. The strange addition of cheese helps to create a crispy chip-like crunch.
Please note that this recipe was a lot of trial and error, so the presentation is not "Instagram perfect" as many would say. These chips resemble more of a crisp latke, but I hope to replicate the recipe over time until the best features are achieved.
