Everyone loves a good bowl of chips and guac. However, most chips are filled with ingredients that will wreak havoc on your gut. On today’s post I will tell you how to make your own chips and a very basic guac recipe.
Almond Flour Tortilla Chips
Disclaimer- these will not taste like regular chips. They are a little more dense. I would describe it as more of a cracker.
Ingredients:
2 Cups almond flour
1/2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1tsp salt
2tsp cayenne pepper (i honestly did like a tablespoon. i like things spicy)
1 large egg
a dash of water (this part is tricky so pay attention)
To make:
- Combine all the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir well.
- add the egg and stir well.
- Add in a dash of water. You want your dough to be crumbly, but a little wet so that when you press it onto cooking paper, it sticks together but isn’t too dry or a big thing of dough water.
- Press dough onto cooking paper. add another sheet of cooking paper on top and roll with a rolling pin (the thinner the better, but not too thin or you’re going to have a fun time peeling it up).
- Cut the dough into triangle slices and place on a WELL GREASED cookie sheet.
- Put the chips into the oven at 400 degress. Cook for 8-10 minutes. (keep an eye on it. they get done quickly.) once your chips are golden brown, remove from oven and scrape them onto a plate to cool.
- enjoy
Guacamole
Ingredients:
3 avacados
1/2 tomato
2 garlic wedges
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 lime juiced
cilantro to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mush with a fork until desired consistency.
Fun facts:
Avocados- have more potassium that a banana. they are actually a fruit. they have 4 grams of protein. They help fight stress due to their abundance of B vitamins. The majority of an avocados calories come from fat. (don’t let that scare you. your body NEEDS healthy fats to survive.)
